Abstract
|
|
|
|
Small bowel cancer represents 1 to 2 percent of all gastrointestinal malignancies. By far, most small bowel epithelial tumors are metastatic. We report an unusual case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of jejunum. The patient was a 69-year-old man who suffered from whole abdominal pain and transferred to our hospital for operation. There was a perforation at the jejunum which was 100cm apart from the ileocecal valve. There was a 5×4m sized ulceroinfiltrative tumor with a perforation. Histologically, it was revealed that the tumor had nests of keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma involving mainly the submucosa and the muscular layer. The overlying mucosa was eroded. The patient had no underlying duplication or inflammatory disorder. A colon study, gastrofibroscopy, computed tomogram of the chest and abdomen, and laryngoscopic exam were performed and revealed no evidence of malignancy. Also there was no evidence of metastatic lesions anywhere.
