title: [An unusual secondary localization of bronchial adenocarcinoma].
abstract: The authors report a rare case of metastatic carcinoma of the large bowel, secondary to a primary bronchogenic adenocarcinoma. Abdominal pain developed in a 44-year old man 5 months after lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis of a large caecal extraluminal mass was established by means of sonography, scanner and laparoscopy. Palliative resection (brain metastases) was performed. Postoperative histological examination revealed the resected tumor to be identical to the lung adenocarcinoma. The patient eventually died 4 months after resection (complication of intracranial hypertension). Diagnosis and therapeutic features of metastatic extra-thoracic lung carcinoma are discussed.
