We present the case of a 72-year-old man with a three-month history of epigastric pain. A physical examination revealed a tender, hard mass around the epigastric area. Enhanced CT showed no chest or abdominal abnormalities, except for a large xiphoid process. The diagnosis was xiphodynia caused by a large xiphoid process. Xyphoidynia should be considered a differential diagnosis for epigastric pain.
我们报告一例72岁男性,有三个月的上腹部疼痛病史。体格检查发现上腹部区域有一个压痛性硬块。增强CT显示胸部和腹部无异常,除了一个大的剑突。诊断为大剑突引起的剑突痛。剑突痛应被视为上腹部疼痛的鉴别诊断。
