A Case of Primary Jejunal Adenocarcinoma in Children

소아에서 발생한 공장의 선암종 1례

Primary adenocarcinoma of the jejunum which accounts for only approximately 3% of all gastrointestinal tract malignancies, is distinctly unusual. The rarity and the non-specific symptoms of this cancer, which are the major factors contributing to its poor prognosis, make the diagnosis difficult.
