Summary

A case of teratoma and choriocarcinoma of the testis with a single metastasis to the jejunum is described. The patient had suffered from severe intestinal hemorrhage for several weeks. An uneventful endoscopic removal of the metastasis was performed. The report illustrates that, particularly in young patients, metastatic lesion of the small bowel should be considered a possible cause of intestinal bleeding in patients who have neoplasm.

Key words:

Gastrointestinal bleeding - Metastatic choriocarcinoma - Endoscopic resection
