Metastatic large cell carcinoma of the lung: A rare cause of acute small bowel obstruction

Metastatic large cell carcinoma of the lung: A rare cause of acute small bowel obstruction

Here, we report a case of acute intestinal obstruction as the initial presentation of primary lung cancer in a male patient. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed multiple polypoid masses and regional lymphadenopathy with small bowel obstruction. The patient underwent emergency surgery for multi...
