title: [Small bowel metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer].
abstract: Small bowel metastasis from lung cancer is rare. We present 2 cases of small bowel metastasis from lung cancer. A 69-year-old man with postoperative lung cancer was admitted to our hospital because of the development of anemia secondary to melena A 56-year-old man with postoperative lung cancer was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and fever. Both patients were operated on with suspicion of small intestine tumor after some examinations. The metastatic tumors were found in the small intestines. Resection of metastasis to the small bowel of lung cancer is benefical for better prognosis.
