At present, oxycodone has fewer adverse effects compared to morphine and is widely used for cancer pain therapy. The adverse effects of oxycodone are similar to morphine and include constipation, nausea, and sedation. However, acute abdominal pain is rarely seen. Here, we describe a cancer patient presenting with acute abdomen with stercoral diarrhea. A 54-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal had been taking oxycodone for pain relief. The patient had taken oxycodone for several months and had never complained of either diarrhea or constipation. After an increase in the dosage of oxycodone, he complained of abdominal distension and constipation. After being administered a laxative, he complained of diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. He visited the emergency department and was diagnosed with acute colonic obstruction caused by severe constipation. He self-medicated with oxycodone at dosages of up to 180\u2009mg\/day, and this abrupt increase of oxycodone caused stercoral diarrhea. Finally, total blockage of stool developed, resulting in acute abdomen.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2011\/858672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,31]],"date-time":"2011-10-31T15:01:30Z","timestamp":1320073290000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Acute Abdomen in a Patient with Cancer Pain on Oxycodone"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2011","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7670-3293","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Naomi","family":"Kishine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsunobu","family":"Tsunoda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7680-4668","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Seiji","family":"Kishimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Head and Neck Surgery, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomohisa","family":"Shoko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ER Center, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"135","volume":"2","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of Pain Research"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1185\/03007995.2010.483941"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2007.03.022"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e3181ecd895"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ACO.0b013e32833c3473"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-007-0373-1"},{"issue":"9","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2542","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2001.19.9.2542","volume":"19","year":"2001","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Oncology"},{"key":"8","first-page":"255","volume":"40","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0885-3924(97)00082-1"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e3182168fed"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2011\/858672.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2011\/858672.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2011\/858672.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,20]],"date-time":"2017-06-20T04:53:07Z","timestamp":1497934387000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2011\/858672\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["858672","858672"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2011\/858672","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9627","1687-9635"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1687-9627"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1687-9635"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011]]}}}
