Abstract
Diagnostic findings: We report about a 83 years old female with persisting abdominal pain for 3 days. Abdominal x-ray, as well as abdominal ultrasound examination were unsuccessful. CT scan revealed a 7 cm tumor, suspicious for abscess. Operation: Diagnostic laparotomy showed a 6 cm inflammatory tumor with covered perforation of a jejunal diverticula at the 4th intestinal loop distal the ligament of Treitz. We performed a segmental resection. Follow Up: Clinical follow-up was uneventful, the patient was without any symptoms within the first 6 months. Preand intraoperative pathology will be explained and discussed referring to the literature.
