Abstract

The small intestine is rarely involved with metastatic tumors from outside the abdomen, and few case reports have been documented in the literature. We describe herein what to our knowledge is the third case of a solitary metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the esophagus being found in the jejunum, causing small intestinal obstruction.
