The pathologic report concluded in a right mesocolic lymph node metastases from a mildly differentiated adenocarcinoma from pulmonary origin. GI metastases of lung cancer are described in the literature and are frequently asymptomatic in patient with a known primary cancer. In this patient, the complication of the metastases revealed the primary and immunochemistry permitted to adapt the systemic chemotherapy.
