Acase of primary jejunal poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma is reported. A 67-year-old female complainted of vomiting and body weight loss. Contrastexamination of the small intestine was perfarmed. Circularly stenotic jejunal tumor wasfound at 11cm below the Treitz's ligament. A tumor that easily bled was found byintestinal endoscopy. Histological examination of biopsy specimen revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. A4× 2cm sized tumor that invaded to the serasa and complisated lymphnode metastasis were also resected. It is seemed that this case is rare because most of jejunal carcinoma is well to moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and moreover circularly stenotic tumor is rarein poorly differentiatcd adenocarcinoma.
