Abstract
Starting from a typical case, we try to highlight the main critical elements, both in the diagnostic algorithm and in the therapeutic one. We hereby present a 54-year old patient, known with hepatic steatosis and renal microlithiasis, which undergoes an ultrasonography in ambulatory, on the background of unsystematised abdominal discomfort; the ultrasound reveals the presence of a tumoral mass in the right iliac fossa.
