IntroductionMalignant tumours of the small bowel are uncommon in clinical practice. Adenocarcinoma is the most common of these tumours, accounting for approximately 35-45% of all tumours. It may occur sporadically, in association with familial adenomatous polyposis coli or Peutz-Jeghers syndrome or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, or in association with chronic inflammatory bowel changes (such as Crohn's disease or celiac disease). Materials and methodsWe report a case of Early Discovery Of Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma In A Patient Admitted For 4 Acute Intestinal Intussusception in the department of Emergency visceral surgery P35 of the ibn rochd hospital in casablanca. ResultsOur patient was admitted to the emergency room for sub-occlusive syndrome with generalized abdominal pain of chronic appearance dating back to one month before his admission With Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound showed: intestinal parietal thickening and minimal ascites (peritoneal and/or intestinal tuberculosis? Crohn's disease)The patient underwent an abdominal-pelvic CT scan which showed: Presence of diffuse small bowel thickening, involving several small intestines and the colonic angle with intestinal invaginations (at least 3) suspecting an inflammatory or tumoral origin? To be compared with histological data and infiltration of the mesenteric fat in the sub-umbilical region with a peritoneal effusion in the Douglas. the patient was operated on in the emergency room, approached by laparotomy and found on exploration: Presence of 3 invaginations in the small intestine located at 20cm and 90cm from the Duodenojejunal Angle (DIA) as well as at 25cm from the Last part of the small intestine (DAI), with Presence of a colonic invagination at the level of the left colonic angle. the patient underwent 3 small bowel resections and one segmental colonic resection including segmental small bowel resections: the 1st one of 30 cm taking away an invagination of the small intestine at 20cm from the ADJ, the 2nd one taking away 60cm of invaginated located at 90cm from the ADJ the 3rd one taking away 20cm of invaginated located at 25cm from the DAI and a 4th resection taking away an invagination of the left colonic angle with 3 Anastomosis of the T-T small intestine and a transverse Colostomy in Bouilley Volkman.On examination by the anapathomopathologist: consistent with a small bowel tumour: well-differentiated intestinal adenocarcinoma on degenerated adenomatous polyps measuring 2.5c
