Tumors
Tumors, either malignant or benign, occur when cells go awry, dividing excessively. Abdominal pain is a symptom of tumors that form on organs and glands located in the abdominal cavity. Fibroid tumors cause extreme pain when they grow beneath the lining of the uterus and when they degenerate. Adrenal cancer, which is a rare form of cancer that develops in the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, can manifest with persistent abdominal pain. Upper abdominal pain that radiates to the back is a symptom of advanced pancreatic cancer. Upper abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting is just one symptom of stomach and liver cancers. Upper right quadrant abdominal pain associated with weight loss and jaundice is a symptom of gallbladder cancer.
