Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) metastases of lung cancer are quite rare, ranging from 0.2% to 1.7% in clinical series, even if they occur in 7.3– 12.2% of autopsy cases [1, 2, 3]. The small bowel is the most frequent site of metastatic lung cancer in the GI tract [4, 5]. Mostly asymptomatic, small bowel metastases from lung cancer are usually diagnosed only in the presence of life threatening symptoms, such as small bowel obstruction, perforation or bleeding.
