Small bowel malignancy is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. We report the case of a thirtyfive-years old male who presented to us with one and a half-month`s history of recurrent abdominal pain associated with vomiting, abdominal distension and constipation. On admission, he was diagnosed to have acute distal small bowel obstruction, which required surgical intervention. Exploration revealed a mass in the terminal ileum. Ileal resection and ileocolic anastomosis was done. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Histopathology revealed adenocarcinoma involving the full thickness of the wall.
