Large cell carcinoma of the lung with isolated jejunal metastasis

Isolated small bowel metastasis of bronchogenic carcinoma is so distinctly unusual that only three previous case reports have been located. The authors report the case of a 59-year-old white male, who succumbed due to complications of a jejunal metastasis two months after left upper lobectomy for large cell carcinoma. The diagnosis was suspected preoperatively on the basis of a CT scan.
