Abstract

Jejunal cancer represents a seldom-discussed subset within the spectrum of gastrointestinal malignancies and an uncommon root cause of small bowel obstruction. We present a case of a 61 year old female presenting with small bowel obstruction and after the obstruction was relieved with conservative measures, the endoscopic evaluation revealed a growth in proximal jejunum. Biopsy from growth was taken and histopathological examination led to the final diagnosis of jejunal adenocarcinoma. It is crucial to recognize that jejunal cancer, while rare, can serve as a potential instigator of small bowel obstruction with a grim prognosis, particularly warranting attention in the care of elderly patients.
