Abstract:
Metastasis to small bowel from non-small cell lung cancer is known to be very rare. Here we report a case of intussusception induced by jejunal metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer. A 47-year old man was admitted to hospital complaining cough and sputum for 3 months. He was diagnosed as squamous cell lung cancer by percutaneous needle biopsy of lung mass detected by chest X-ray and CT. Multiple brain metastatic lesions were detected by brain CT on admission. Systemic chemotherapy with whole brain irradiation was performed. After three cycles of chemotherapy, he was admitted with sudden-onset abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Jejunal intussusception was the diagnosis by abdominal CT and histologic examination of resected jejunum showed it was induced by metastatic mass from the primary lung cancer.(Korean J Med 64:235-239, 2003)
