Adenopathy can be localized or generalized. Involved nodes are painless, rubbery, and discrete and are usually located in the cervical and supraclavicular regions. Mesenteric or GI involvement can cause nausea, vomiting, obstruction, abdominal pain, palpable abdominal mass, or GI bleeding. Bone marrow involvement can cause symptoms related to anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia.

Inflammatory bowel disease is divided into two major gastrointestinal disorders ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn s disease. Both diseases are chronic and tend to be characterized by periods of exacerbations and remissions. Major differences between UC and Crohn s disease are differentiated by anatomic location and distribution. UC occurs in the colon and rectum, whereas Crohn s disease can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract. UC tends to be continuous, diffuse, and mucosal Crohn s appears segmental, focal, and transmural. Fissures, strictures, abdominal masses, and pain are commonly associated with Crohn s. Classical symptoms of UC include chronic diarrhea with tenesmus, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain.

The physical examination in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma is nsnally normal. In advanced disease, a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, or ascites may be present. Lymph nodes may be palpated at the umbilicns (Sister Mary Joseph s node) or the supraclavicular region (Virchow s node). A perirectal mass may occur, with tumor deposition in the rectal pouch (Blumer s shelf), and palpable ovarian enlargement may occur with tumor seeding as well (Krukenberg tumor). 

Gastric teratoma is an extremely rare gastric tumor, comprising less than 1% of all teratomas in children (Chandrasekharam et al. 2000). They typically occur in infancy (during the first year of life), most commonly in boys. The patients will present with an upper abdominal mass with evidence of proximal GI obstruction or Gl hemorrhage. The therapy of choice should be resection. It has an excellent prognosis as described in a series of seven patients by Wakhlu and Wakhlu (2002).

A total of 65% of patients with HCC will be older than 10 years of age. The typical presentation will be a child with an abdominal mass or abdominal distension on physical examination. Although not common, abdominal pain, anorexia, weight loss, or hemoperitoneummay also be present (Katzenstein et al. 2003). 

Abdominal pain located in the right upper quadrant or epigastrium and an abdominal mass are the principal findings in the initial examination. Other manifestations such as jaundice, chest pain, fever, and cardiac murmur (due to extension of the tumor into the right atrium and ventricle) are very rarely seen. 

An abdominal mass with pain is a common manifestation. Loss of appetite is a frequent symptom, and weight loss and weakness may occur. Approximately 80% of hydatid cysts will be localized in the liver, and may compress the porta and biliary ducts producing jaundice or cholangitis. 

Peritonitis caused by practolol was first recognized by Brown et al. (1974). Patients presented with a history of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, steatorrhea, loss of weight, and in some cases an abdominal mass.
