Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma Presenting with Brain Metastasis
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Colorectal Disease - Year 2020, Vol 30, Issue 3
Abstract
Although the small bowel (SB) comprises majority of the length of alimentary tract and its surface mucosal area, adenocarcinoma of SB is rare in comparison to other gastrointestinal malignancies. The most common presenting symptom is intermittent and crampy abdominal pain. Because of the rarity of these lesions and the non-specific and variable nature of the presenting symptoms, delay in diagnosis is common. In this article, we have presented a case of adenocarcinoma of the jejunum with only neurologic symptoms due to brain metastasis.
