We report an unusual case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that presented as right lower quadrant pain in a 17-year-old boy. Ultrasonographic findings were consistent with typhlitis. The clinical and imaging symptoms resolved upon treatment with antibiotics and conservative care, only to recur after initiation of chemotherapy. Familiarity with the clinical presentation and imaging findings of typhlitis is important for its correct diagnosis and management.
我们报告了一例罕见的急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)病例,该病例表现为一名17岁男孩的右下腹疼痛。超声检查结果与盲肠炎相符。经抗生素治疗和保守护理后,临床和影像学症状得到缓解,但在开始化疗后又复发。熟悉盲肠炎的临床表现和影像学表现对于其正确诊断和治疗很重要。
