Abstract:
A 77-year-old man presented with small bowel obstruction secondary to a solitary metastasis 7 years following resection of gastric carcinoma. At laparotomy, there was no evidence of local recurrence of gastric carcinoma and the liver was also noted to be grossly normal. Further exploration revealed the presence of a small bowel tumour in the ileum causing obstruction. A small bowel resection with side-to-side anastomosis was performed. On microscopy, the appearance of the resected small bowel tumour was consistent with a metastasis from the previously resected gastric carcinoma. The patient made an uneventful recovery following surgery and was later referred for further oncology management.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
