Small bowel appears dilated. There is evidence of an annular constricting lesion in the distal ileum with enhancement. This is suggestive of a stenosing ileal mass lesion.
Case Discussion
Post operative histopathological diagnosis was of ileal adenocarcinoma.
Small bowel adenocarcinoma is relatively rare compared to colonic adenocarcinoma. It predominantly involves the duodenum and jejunum, with the ileum less frequently involved.
