Abstract
We believe this is the first reported case of metastatic carcinoma of the lung occurring with occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Most small bowel metastatic tumors of various primaries are asymptomatic and are usually diagnosed at emergency operation. Since the prognosis is generally poor, operative resection should be conservative.Keywords
