A 39-year-old man presented with dizziness and melena for 2 months. Abdominal CT scan showed constrictive wall thickening with enhancement and proximal loop dilatation of the jejunum. On endoscopic examination, there was large amount of bile stained fluid in duodenum. Enteroscopy using pediatric colonoscope demonstrated an encircling mass with obstruction approximately 20 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz. Endoscopic jejunal biopsy showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Small intestinal adenocarcinoma is uncommonly encountered in clinical practice. Because small intestine is relatively inaccessible via routine endoscopy, diagnosis of small intestinal neoplasm is often delayed for several months after the onset of symptoms. Most of the patients are diagnosed in advanced stage. Therefore, when a small bowel neoplasm is suspected, enteroscopy is the most useful study. If enteroscope is not available, enteroscopy using pediatric colonoscope may permit earlier preoperative diagnosis. We report a case of primary jejunal adenocarcinoma diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy using pediatric colonoscope.

Intestinal intussusception caused by metastatic tumor is uncommon. Symptomatic small bowel metastases from lung cancer have been rarely reported. Here we report a case of intussusception with gastrointestinal bleeding induced by jejunal metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of melena. He had underwent right pneumonectomy and received systemic chemotherapy with radiotherapy for squamous cell lung cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy failed to reveal bleeding focus. Abdominal CT scan revealed jejunal intussusception and histologic examination of resected jejunum showed metastatic mass from lung cancer. In patients with small bowel obstruction and history of malignancies, possibility of small bowel metastatic tumor should be considered.
