Popis: This paper describes a large circumferential benign tumor of the jejunum indistinguishable from villous adenoma of the colon. The lesion was recognized and resected 21/2 years after the onset of symptoms. The clinical course of the patient was characterized by intermittent bowel obstruction and preoperatively by hemorrhage and intussusception, all common clinical features of jejunal tumors. The lesion is considered to represent a previously undescribed villous adenoma of the small bowel.
