serosal fold


Explanation:
Per Norstedt's dictionary:
"omslag" = "cover(ing)"
"veck" = "fold"

But the fold has a special name if it occurs in the serosa. See below link for very brief details.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Doctor I asked did wonder if it was the omentum, but considering that it's been translated as the jugal mucosa in the cheek, it's likely to be a memberane rather than fat, isn't it?
