Overview

Acute abdomen in patients with malignity may present itself as a first sign, or might manifest itself during therapy of diagnosed disease. Clinical picture might be modified by age of patients, comorbidity, and side effects of multimodal therapy. Authors analyze their group of patients, admitted to their department with malignant disease. They found out, that almost half of the patients was admitted urgently and had serious comorbidities. In operative therapy classical surgery dominated. Authors present in discussion causes of this unsatisfactory status, as well as literature references concerning urgent cases in different types of malignant diseases.

Key words:
acute abdomen – malignant disease
