Abstract

We report an unusual case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that presented as right lower quadrant pain in a 17-year-old boy. Ultrasonographic findings were consistent with typhlitis. The clinical and imaging symptoms resolved upon treatment with antibiotics and conservative care, only to recur after initiation of chemotherapy. Familiarity with the clinical presentation and imaging findings of typhlitis is important for its correct diagnosis and management.
