Abstract:
A 56-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of
chronic persistent right upper quadrant abdominal pain that
was associated with intermittent nausea, vomiting, and
unintentional weight loss. She had been on antihypertensive
treatment—hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine—for
2 years. Her blood pressure, 125/73 mm Hg, was well con-
trolled and did not appear to be labile. She had tenderness
in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen with no palpable
masses. Oral analgesia was prescribed for the pain.
