epigastric fossa
The epigastric fossa is an area located on the anterior surface of the human body, covering the upper central region of the abdomen. It is more commonly known as the epigastrium or epigastric region, extending from the breastbone down to the navel, which encompasses parts of several major body organs such as the stomach, liver, and pancreas. The term "fossa," typically refers to a depression or hollow, however, in this context its usage seems to be less common.
