Abstract:

A 56-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of chronic persistent right upper quadrant abdominal pain that was associated with intermittent nausea, vomiting, and unintentional weight loss. She had been on antihypertensive treatment—hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine—for 2 years. Her blood pressure, 125/73 mm Hg, was well con- trolled and did not appear to be labile. She had tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen with no palpable masses. Oral analgesia was prescribed for the pain.
