Summary

Adeno-carcinoma of the small intestine is rare, often presenting with abdominal pain and anemia. Early diagnosis via endoscopy and barium studies is crucial for effective treatment, including surgical resection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Small intestinal adenocarcinoma is an uncommon malignancy.
  • Presentation often includes vague symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, and obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and management outcomes of small intestinal adenocarcinoma.
  • To highlight the role of endoscopy and barium contrast examination in diagnosing these tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of seven patients with small intestinal adenocarcinoma over five years.
  • Evaluation of presenting symptoms, diagnostic modalities (endoscopy, barium contrast examination), and surgical interventions.

Main Results:

  • Four tumors were in the duodenum, two in the jejunum, and one in the ileum.

  • Common symptoms included abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, and obstruction.
  • Endoscopy was key for duodenal tumors; barium contrast examination had 83% diagnostic accuracy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Small intestinal adenocarcinoma requires a high index of suspicion due to non-specific symptoms.
    • Multimodality diagnostic approaches, including endoscopy and imaging, are essential.
    • Treatment involves surgical resection, with curative intent when possible, and palliative measures otherwise.
