Abstract

After experiencing left abdomen pain, a 56-year-old man with a history of gastroesophageal reflux illness was brought to our hospital. There was no history of fatigue, jaundice, hematemesis, vomiting, or melena. Upon clinical examination, no tumors were seen, and bowel sounds were normal.
