Abstract

A 76 year old Chinese woman presented with a pelvic abscess, secondary to perforated carcinoma of the jejunum. Plain abdominal radiograph showed a mottled lesion which corresponded to the site of the perforated tumour seen on CT and confirmed during laparotomy. The clinical and imaging features of carcinoma of the jejunum are briefly reviewed.
