Abstract: A 52-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 5-week history of abdominal discomfort. The pain worsened after eating and was associated with nausea and bloating. Two weeks before presentation, the patient's pain localized more to the periumbilical area and was accompanied by early satiety and vomiting. He had no fever, diarrhea, tenesmus, melena, or hematochezia.
