Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
INTRODUCTION An unusual case of synchronous small and large bowel adenocarcinoma is presented in a 64 year old female. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of small bowel cancer constituting 32-54% of all malignant enteric tumors. Primary tumors of the small bowel are rare, and the diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the small bowel in the presence of primary adenocarcinomas of the large bowel requires a high degree of suspicion. A case of synchronous primary adenocarcinomas of the small and large bowel in a patient, extensively investigated for abdominal discomfort and weakness, is presented
