INTUSSUSCEPTION CAUSED BY JEJUNAL ADENOCARCINOMA - CASE REPORT OF A RARE CAUSE OF ACUTE INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Primary small bowel tumour accounts for only 3–6% of gastro intestinal neoplasms and only 1–2% of these are malignant. They present usually with nonspecific symptoms that causes delay in diagnosis. Intestinal obstruction can develop in 15% to 35% of patients with small bowel adenocarcinoma. Most common causes for such obstruction are adhesion and tumour infiltration. Intestinal obstruction due to intussusception in malignancy of jejunum is rare. Here we are reporting a case of jejunal adenocarcinoma in a 58 year old male patient who presented to us with acute intestinal obstruction. On exploratory laparotomy there was intussusception in jejunum with adenocarcinoma as the lead point.
