MARTINEZ, Oswaldo Alejandro; BISSOT, Rolando Alfredo y BOTELLO, Karim Michelle. Adenocarcinoma of jejunum: an infrequent type of intestinal cancer. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.4, pp.421-427. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.89.
Small bowel tumors are infrequent. Adenocarcinoma of the jejunum constitutes a rare diagnosis. It usually presents with nonspecific clinical symptoms and most patients are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease. We present the case of a 58-year-old man with a diagnosis of jejunal adenocarcinoma, intermittent generalized abdominal pain, occasional vomiting, weight loss and postprandial fullness of two months of evolution. The patient was admitted with intestinal obstruction, with an abdominopelvic tomography showing abrupt caliber reduction at the level of the proximal jejunum. A laparotomy was performed, where an obstructive lesion was evidenced in the jejunum; resection was performed primary anastomosis. Histopathology reported moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma T3N0M0. The patient has had a favorable evolution.
