“…In one of the cases the site of the metastasis was the ileal region of the small bowel, while another case involved the duodenum 10 , 11. Both of these cases were found intraoperatively synchronously at the time of diagnosis of the primary gastric malignancy and not post-gastric resection as demonstrated in our case 10 , 11. The third case did not specify the site of solitary metastases in the small bowel.…”

“…Our literature search has identified only three documented cases of an isolated metastatic small bowel tumour from a primary gastric adenocarcinoma 10 – 12.

Both of these cases were found intraoperatively synchronously at the time of diagnosis of the primary gastric malignancy and not post-gastric resection as demonstrated in our case 10 , 11.…”

A 77-year-old man presented with small bowel obstruction secondary to a solitary metastasis 7 years following resection of gastric carcinoma. At laparotomy, there was no evidence of local recurrence of gastric carcinoma and the liver was also noted to be grossly normal. Further exploration revealed the presence of a small bowel tumour in the ileum causing obstruction. A small bowel resection with side-to-side anastomosis was performed. On microscopy, the appearance of the resected small bowel tumour was consistent with a metastasis from the previously resected gastric carcinoma. The patient made an uneventful recovery following surgery and was later referred for further oncology management.
