Abstract
A 60's male was admitted to our hospital for the surgery to jejunal tumor. He received the right middle and lower lobectomy for the large cell carcinoma of right lung on March, 2003 (T2N1M0, StageIIIA). On January, 2006, he visited a hospital complaining of nausea and vomiting. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography scan suggested the presence of intussusception of the small intestine headed by a tumor in the jejunum and swelling paraaortic and mesenteric lymph nodes.
 Because of his request, he was transferred to our hospital. Surgery to the tumor was performed to repair the intussusception and to diagnose the tumor. Microscopic examination revealed the large cell carcinoma originated from the lung.
 The post operative adjuvant chemotherapy (GEM/CDDP) on the department of respiratory medicine of our hospital was not effective. Because of his request, we didn't administer another anticancer agent.
