| Summary: | Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare tumor of the gastrointestinal tract
that has both exocrine and neuroendocrine components. There are only 5 case reports about
this combined tumor in the small bowel, arose in a background of long-standing Crohn’s disease. Here, we report a case of small bowel MANEC in a 54-year-old male with Crohn’s disease,
who presented a heterogeneous enhancing, asymmetric small bowel wall thickening with
small bowel obstruction and had a difficulty in differential diagnosis before surgery. |
