Metastatic de novo lung cancer presenting as acute jejunojejunal intussusception: an unusual case report
This case highlights the importance of considering intussusception caused by gastrointestinal metastases in the differential diagnosis of patients with lung carcinoma presenting with abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal symptoms. Surgical intervention is often necessary in such cases. Intussusception indicates a poor prognosis in patients with lung carcinoma, regardless of the management strategy employed.
