Abstract
Abdominal pain is among the top 20 - reasons for primary care office visits. Causes of abdominal pain range from self-limiting to life-threatening. Complaints of abdominal pain present providers with a number of potential differential diagnoses and options for evaluation and management because the source of abdominal pain may include respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecologic, or musculoskeletal causes. Because the physical examination may be normal despite the underlying pathology, it is important for providers to carefully review the history of the complaint. This case study presents a middle-aged man presenting with abdominal pain for several months that warranted a comprehensive approach to differential diagnosis.
