[A Case of Small Bowel Cancer Treated with Laparoscopic Surgery]

We report a case of small intestinal adenocarcinoma treated with laparoscopic surgery. A 70-year-old woman had abdominal pain and epigastralgia. There were no abnormal findings on upper and lower endoscopy. The symptoms continued for 4 months after endoscopy, so she presented to our hospital. After CT examination, small bowel cancer with ileus was suspected. An ileus tube was inserted to relieve the bowel pressure and she was diagnosed with ileum cancer by enteroscopy. Laparoscopic surgery was performed and the pathological stage was determined as pStage Ⅲa. She was treated with oral chemotherapy (UFT plus LV) and had no recurrence 6 months after surgery.
