Patients in the different ages may refer to the Emergency Department (ED) with complaining of the abdominal mass. Based on history, clinical examination, the patient's age and the location of mass, several differential diagnoses are discussed. In this report, we represent a 23-year old female patient which had referred to our ED with complaining about the pain and swelling of the right side of the abdomen. After taking the necessary measurements, Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJO) diagnosis was made for patient. The renal tissue degradation was happened as a consequence of delayed diagnosis. The patient was underwent nephrectomy. Since UPJO is usually seen in children, we decided to introduce this patient as a case report. Emergency physicians must constantly think about UPJO in patients with abdominal mass, so that they can save the function of kidney with accurate and rapid diagnosis.
