چکیده
A 48-year-old man who complained of a severe throbbing pain in his right lateral chest was referred to our department. His chest computed tomography (CT) and X-ray, abdominal CT and ultrasonography had revealed no abnormalities. Four days after admission to our ward the patient vomited and he requested upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy: this showed duodenal ulcer. Treatment with omeprazole and sucralfate improved the duodenal ulcer; concurrently, the symptoms of chest pain were relieved.
