摘要：Acute abdomen may result from several diseases such as infection, ischemia, obstruction, and perforation. Less frequently, diverticulitis, tumor perforation may be the reason. Ruling out acute appendicitis is mandatory in patients presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain. We report a 43-year-old male, suffering from right lower quadrant pain lasting for 2 days resembling acute appendicitis, which has been subsequently diagnosed perforation of ascending colon with tumor via advanced images modality that had been operated emergently. Histological findings revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas for ascending colon mass and liver metastasis. If young patients with acute abdomen admitted to emergency service; appendicitis and other inflammatory diseases should be recognized as initial diagnosis. However, perforation or obstructions of malign colon tumors should be kept in mind.
