Abstract

Jejunal adenocarcinoma is the rarest primary small bowel tumor and represents 3% of all gastrointestinal cancers, with an estimated annual incidence of 0.3 to 2 cases per 100 000 people. This disease accounts for 0.4% of gastrointestinal cancers and 0.2% of deaths associated with malignancy in the United States and Spain, with nonspecific symptoms, such as anemia of unexplained etiology, abdominal pain, and weight loss; most cases are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease. The following is the case of a 46-year-old female with non-specific symptoms, weight loss, abdominal pain and vomiting. A computerized tomography scan of the abdomen allowed determining the site and extension of the tumor, while a capsule endoscopy and an enteroscopy showed a neoplastic lesion in the proximal jejunum. A histopathology analysis reported moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of jejunum with favorable results after a curative surgical resection that improved the prognosis of life at 5 years and with favorable follow-up until to date.
