    Abstract:
    A case of occult gastrointestinal bleeding due to jejunal metastases of a primary lung carcinoma in a 53-year-old man is reported. When after healing of a large gastric ulcer melena persisted, a subsequently performed double contrast enema of the small bowel revealed evidence of several jejunal tumors. This was confirmed by angiography of the superior mesenteric artery and computed tomography of the abdomen. After resection of the tumor-bearing jejunal loop, histological evaluation revealed metastases secondary to a large-cell bronchogenic carcinoma which had been resected 1 year previously.
