Abstract :

Chronic abdominal pain is a very common complaint in many middle–aged and elderly women. Especially in developing countries like ours, these patients receive analgesics over a long period or are often left undiagnosed. We present a case of a 65 year old woman with chronic abdominal pain, with different diagnoses suggested in various investigations, found to have a stricture in the proximal jejunum during surgery, which was histopathologically reported as adenocarcinoma.
