title: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to duodenal metastasis from primary lung carcinoma.
abstract: Metastatic dissemination of lung carcinoma may involve virtually all organs, however, symptomatic spread to the small bowel is a rare occurrence. Herein, we report a case of duodenal metastatic involvement leading to severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the absence of symptoms referable to the primary tumour.
