Prepared by Jefrey Salek, MD, Resident, Internal Medicine, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New Hyde Park, NY

Three days earlier, he presented to his primary care physician with complaints of fever (102°F), nausea, vomiting, and watery diarrhea. He reported increased abdominal distention for the past 4 months, despite his attempts to diet and lose weight. A computed tomography (CT) scan of his abdomen revealed the diagnosis (Figure).
