Abdominal distension and pain, vomiting and inability to pass flatus and feces.
Patient Data
Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
Small bowel appears dilated. There is evidence of an annular constricting lesion in the distal ileum with enhancement. This is suggestive of a stenosing ileal mass lesion.
Case Discussion
Post operative histopathological diagnosis was of ileal adenocarcinoma.
Small bowel adenocarcinoma is relatively rare compared to colonic adenocarcinoma. It predominantly involves the duodenum and jejunum, with the ileum less frequently involved.
