A 57-year-old man with a 3-month history of lower abdominal pain and rectal bleeding with black stools underwent urgent abdominal CT, which revealed an ovoid hyperdense lesion in the ileum in the right iliac fossa. The prime differential was a midgut neuroendocrine tumor. Thus, the patient was referred for a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan, which demonstrated intense activity in this lesion with no evidence of somatostatin receptor expression elsewhere.

Article Synopsis
- Abdominal pain is a common reason for emergency department visits, and distinguishing between normal recovery and complications post-surgery, like in hysteroscopies with myomectomies, is crucial for physicians.
- A case involving a 33-year-old female who underwent a hysteroscopy and presented with severe abdominal pain highlighted the difficulty in diagnosing potential surgical complications, leading to imaging that initially suggested a low-grade obstruction.
- Ultimately, further examination revealed two perforations in the ileum due to uterine perforations, which were repaired successfully, showcasing the importance of thorough reassessment in post-operative patients.
