An unusual cause of left iliac fossa
mass
Robert Lo, Wai K Lai
Clinical
A 57-year-old lady with biopsy-proven Child’s B
alcoholic cirrhosis and known oesophageal varices presented with a 6 months
history of left lower quadrant abdominal pain. Clinical examination revealed a
mobile tender mass in the left iliac fossa. There was no organomegaly or any
dilated abdominal veins. Rectal examination and sigmoidoscopy were unremarkable.
Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen was performed
(Figure 1).
