Jill:

This is the best I can do:

omentum - a fold in the peritoneum (membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen)

fibroadipose - relating to or containing both fibrous and fatty structures

focal - limited to one specific area

necrosis - process of cell death (some cell death is naturally preprogrammed and some cell death can be due to an error in cell division

I hope this helps. Clare
