[Intestinal metastases of bronchopulmonary cancer. Apropos of a case]

Intestinal metastases are relatively frequent in lung cancer (4.7 to 14% in autopsy series) but rarely recognized clinically before severe complications due to hemorrhage or occlusion. We report a new case and review the literature. Digestive tract localizations should always be searched in case of bronchogenic cancer as prognosis is very poor. Mean survival is 4-8 weeks requiring adapted approach to the primary tumor.
