A fourteen year old girl presented to us with persistent left hypochondrial and left loin pain for several months, associated with loss of weight and dyspeptic symptoms. Physical examination did not reveal any significant findings. Urinalysis, full blood count, abdominal and chest radiographs were normal. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 72 mm for the first hour. Abdominal ultrasound scan too, was unremarkable.
