Small bowel intussusception due to metastatic intestinal carcinosarcoma from a pulmonary primary
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastatic small bowel tumors are rarely encountered. They usually present with small bowel obstruction, perforation, bleeding, or, rarely, intestinal intussusception. Only a few case reports have mentioned bowel symptoms due to metastatic malignancies. We report a seldom encountered clinical condition of intestinal intussusception from metastatic lung malignancy. Pathology demonstrated both epithelial and mesenchymal content, and the final diagnosis was carcinosarcoma. This case report indicates that intestinal metastases should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with lung malignancy and abdominal symptoms.
