Abstract
Abdominal pain often occurs in patients receiving chemotherapy. The authors describe a patient with osteosarcoma who developed severe right-sided abdominal discomfort several days after being admitted for fever, neutropenia, and mucositis. Unexpectedly, the patient's pain was not therapy-related, but rather was caused by a midline pelvic mass.
