A case of Jejunal Metasis form a Hyperplastic Polyp in the Stomach
Abstract
- Benign and malignant tumors are rarely encountered in the small intestine. Moreover, small bowel metastases arising from the lung carcinoma are very unusual. They often present as intestinal perforation and show a poor prognosis. We report a case of jejunal metastasis from sqamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The patient of this case complained of abrupt epigastric pain and vomiting. On phyical examination, we found whole abdominal tenderness and rebound tenderness. The free air was detected on chest radiography. Abdominal exploration confirmed multiple metastases on the jejunum and the liver, and revealed squamous cell carcinoma on the resection segment of the jejunum. The patient was discharged 9 days after palliative surgery without serious complication and died 2 months later. We report the case of small bowel metastasis from primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
