[A young adult male with primary carcinoma of the jejunum].
A 37-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of epigastric pain and weight loss. He was in a stable state of health until 2 months earlier but gradually worsened and lost weight about 13 kg during 1 month. After 1 month, he consulted our clinic. Upper GI barium studies revealed malignant stenosis in about 50 cm from the ligament of Treitz. Radical surgical resection was performed including the segment in 25 cm of intestine containing the primary tumor. Lymph node and liver metastases were not seen. Pathologic findings revealed "well differentiated adenocarcinoma". Thirteen months after the operation, he is well and has gained weight to state of health.
