Abstract
Small bowel malignant tumors account for less than 2 % of all gastrointestinal tumors. Among small bowel duodenum constitute majority of cases. Primary jejunal carcinoma is rare and is difficult to diagnose clinically due to non-specific symptoms. We present here a rare case of primary jejunal carcinoma in a 72 yr old male patient, who presented with complaints of abdominal distention and vomiting. Clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis or carcinoma is given. Laprotomy was done and segment of intestine removed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.
