    Abstract:
    Small bowel perforation is a rare complication of metastatic lung cancer. We were able to document 35 such cases in the literature in English. Aggressive investigation and early surgery is the only method for providing palliation to these patients. However, morbidity and mortality remain high and the prognosis is dire.
