“Abdominal Pain for 2 Weeks”
Chief Complaint
![Page 3: LSU Internal Medicine Case Conference May 1 st , 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568166e5550346895ddb20e4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
46 year-old man with significant past medical history of TB (treated in prison with RIPE x 6 months) and GSW (abdomen and RLE >10 years ago) presents to the ED with complaints of nausea and abdominal pain for two weeks.
The patient describes the pain as sharp, stabbing, radiating to the back, and associated with mild nausea but no vomiting. He also states that there are no identified alleviating factors for his pain.
He also complains of early satiety for the past two weeks, with a 15 pound weight loss over the past month.

The patient denies any change in stool consistency, hematochezia, melena, or diarrhea, but does note that his bowel movements are less frequent since the onset of his poor appetite.
He was evaluated for these complaints at Ocshner Main Campus two weeks prior to his presentation, and he was prescribed a course of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole for a presumed diagnosis of gastroenteritis versus small bowel ileus.

Unable to tolerate liquide dietAttempts to improve nutrition were made with
a nasogastric tube, which worsened the patient’s nausea and vomiting.
Repeat abdominal imagining performed 4 days after admission, prompting an interventional radiology and GI consult.

Hospital Day #6EGD and flexible sigmoidoscopy were done to
evaluate the patient’s diffuse stomach thickening that was seen on abdominal imaging.

Final Diagnosis
![Page 43: LSU Internal Medicine Case Conference May 1 st , 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568166e5550346895ddb20e4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
On HD #10, the patient received his diagnosis, and hematology and oncology were consulted to evaluate the patient.
Due to the mainstay of life-saving therapy being surgical resection, surgical oncology was consulted and the patient was discussed at the ILH tumor board.
Careful review of the patient’s imaging with radiology revealed likely carcinomatosis from metastatic disease that spread from his stomach to the celiac plexus and head of the pancreas.
After Diagnosis
![Page 44: LSU Internal Medicine Case Conference May 1 st , 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568166e5550346895ddb20e4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Surgery to stage the cancer was tentatively planned; however, the patient decided against a surgical staging procedure since it would not palliate his symptoms, and the surgeons were unlikely to perform a successful resection of the cancer.
After another two days in the hospital, the patient went home with hospice.
