Abstract

Primary Small bowel tumours are rare accounting for only 3–6% of GI neoplasm; 1–2% of these are malignant. Their presentation is usually with nonspecific symptoms that causes delay in diagnosis and consequently a worse outcome for the patient. We report a case of Jejunal adenocarcinoma where early diagnosis and treatment lead to good outcome
