title: [Colonic stenosis due to a "microcarcinoma" of the ovary: a clinical note].
abstract: The authors, on the basis of a case recently observed, suggest to take into account the presence of an ovarian "microcarcinoma" when a jejunal stenosis of uncertain origin is found in a female patient. In fact, ovarian carcinoma is often misdiagnosed. A complete surgical exploration is recommended even though diagnostic techniques such as endoscopy, CT scan, ultrasonography and X-ray barium enema are negative.
