Abstract

Small bowel neoplasm are rare malignancy, accounting for 5% of gastrointestinal cancer. Diagnosis of this pathology is conditioned by low frequency and vague presentation, causing a delayed diagnosis with poor prognosis and low survival rates. We describe a 60-years-old man with a metastatic small bowel neoplasm, presented with after abdominal pain and consti- tutional syndrome. The aim of this report is to introduce epidemiological and clinical data and discuss aspects related to diagnosis and treat- ment of this pathology.
