Abstract:
The occurrence of the small intestinal adenocarcinoma is infrequent and the primary adenocarcinoma of the jejunum is rare. The survival of adenocarcinoma of the small bowel does not improve over the past three decades. Although symptoms appeared to be of long duration, most patients were diagnosed with advanced disease. All reports agree that these tumors are difficult to achieve good examination of the small bowel by both clinician and radiologist, so it cause a significant delay in diagnosis. The survival of these tumors appear to correlate with stage at presentation, and therefore early and aggressive diagnostic intervention seems to improve the outlook. We report a case of primary jejunal adenocarcinoma assoeiated with iron deficiency anemia with literatures review.
