Abstract

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare type of tumour consisting of neoplastic cells expressing both epithelial and mesenchymal cell markers. The small intestine is a rare site for sarcomatoid carcinoma and to date, a few cases have been reported. In this manuscript, a case of jejunal sarcomatoid carcinoma in a man in his 50s is reported. A review of the literature on sarcomatoid carcinomas of small bowel is presented.
