Abstract

An 89-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with persistent epigastralgia and vomiting for 2 days. She was afebrile and mildly tachycardiac (pulse rate 101 beats/min). Physical examination revealed a masslike lesion beneath the umbilicus (Figure 1). Blood tests showed leukocytosis (WBC count 21,600/μL; neutrophil 96%). Kidney ureter bladder abdominal radiograph revealed a small bowel gas collection with a large radiopacity in the lower abdomen.
