    Abstract:
    A case is presented of a 72-year old male patient presenting with a massive intestinal blood loss due to a solitary jejunal metastasis of a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the right lung resected two years earlier. After diagnostic workup and stabilization a small bowel resection with end to end anastomosis was performed. Patient is alive and well 5 months after operation. Solitary bleeding intestinal metastasis of a primary bronchogenic tumour are extremely rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal blood loss in a patient with a known bronchogenic tumour. Resection with end to end anastomosis is the treatment of choice.
