Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of small intestine is rare disease, but its incidence of iluem is the least of small intestinal adenocarcinoma. Its rarity and vague symptoms results in delayed diagnosis, treatment and poor prognosis, Recently we experienced a 65 years old man of ileal adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis, which does not obstuct intestinal lumen, We treat the metastatic tumor with chemoembolization(lipiodol and doxorubicin) through the hepatic artery and so we report the case with review of literature.
