Abstract

General & Internal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, General & Internal Science & Technology
A 73-year-old lady presented with abdominal pain. On initial radiological workup the case mimicked pancreatic abscess but on further investigation, proved to be duodenal diverticulum, thus avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention. The clinical and radiological features are presented in order to avoid misinterpretation of duodenal diverticulum as pancreatic abscess.
