BACKGROUND: Small bowel tumours occur rarely with an average annual incidence rate of 9.9 per million people.(1) Jejunum accounts for only 20-30% of all small bowel cancers. Jejunum cancer is rare accounting for only 3% of all gastrointestinal cancers.(1) We report this case of Jejunal adenocarcinoma for the rarity. We discuss the diagnosis and management of this case briefly.
