Abstract

Small bowel adenocarcinoma(SBA)is a rare neoplasm presenting usually in elderly patients as a single tumour. Multiple synchronous SBA is unique and difficult to diagnose due to non-specific presentations.Faecalomas have been described in association with Hirschsprungs disease, psychiatric patients, Chagas disease, both inflammatory and neoplastic conditions, and in patients suffering with chronic constipation.We herein report a case of multiple faecalomas secondary to multiple small bowel strictures leading to small bowel obstruction in a patient with previous history of pulmonary tuberculosis.Thepatient was successfully treated surgically. The strictures on histopathology turned out to be low grade adenocarcinoma. Multiple synchronous SBA as well as multiple fecalomas are individually rare entities, and their combined occurrence is even rarer.
