title: [Abdominal pain during the course of lung cancer].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Metastatic involvement of the peritoneum from a lung cancer is infrequently encountered.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the case report of a patient with bronchial adenocarcinoma whose course is complicated by the occurrence of a peritoneal carcinomatosis, as documented by FDG-PET.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Unexplained abdominal pain in a lung cancer patient may be a peritoneal carcinomatosis. The diagnosis can be helped by PET-scan. However, the therapeutic opportunities are very limited.
