Abstract

The authors present the case of one male patient, 71 years old, known with serial neoplasia (right colon neoplasm 1983, left colon neoplasm 1987) for which there were performed several interventions. The patient was admitted first time in our Department in 1998 for a non specifically symptomatology; in particular anaemic syndrome. The first intervention was performed in June 1998, without finding anything pathological, despite the presumption of a third tumor on the remaining colonic territory, theory that was partially sustained by the paraclinical examinations. The second intervention was performed in February 2001, when it was found and extirpated a jejunal tumor, under Treitz angle, but after 9 months, when a new intervention was performed, we found a relapse tumor which was not extirpable. The aim of this study is to present the unpredictable versatility of small bowels tumors and the difficulty of establishing an early positive diagnose.
