Perforación yeyunal secundaria a metástasis de carcinoma mucoepidermoide pulmonar. Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract

The cases of metastases to small bowel are extremely rare, and to our knowledge this is first case reported in Mexico. The patient described went to the emergency room with gastrointestinal bleed and intestinal perforation that required urgent surgical intervention with small bowel resection and primary anastomosis. Unfortunately the patient died secondary to hospital acquired pneumonia.
