Small bowel adenocarcinoma of the jejunum

Jejunal adenocarcinoma is an unusual type of gastrointestinal malignancy. The symptoms are vague, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and, in some cases, weight loss. Due to this vague presentation as well as lack of definitive imaging techniques, diagnosis tends to be delayed and patients typically present at later stages. We present a case of a patient who presented with acute onset abdominal pain. Imaging revealed the presence of a suspicious lesion of the jejunum, with a 3,6 extension. The patient underwent a laparoscopy segmental intestinal resection and omental lymph node resection. The lesion was a 3-cm mass at proximal jejunum. The jejunum adenocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm of the small bowel. The curative resection at the early stages is still the best treatment.
