Abstract

Small bowel malignancies are rare, difficult to diagnose, and have few treatment guidelines. Because small bowel tumors present with vague and common symptoms, it is imperative that the surgeon keep them on the differential for abdominal pain, obstruction, and gastrointestinal bleed. However, the majority of patients referred to surgeons for small bowel tumors have a suspicious mass on imaging. Evidence-based guidelines on management of small bowel malignancy are difficult to find, and given the rarity of these lesions, there is little information in the literature to provide reference for clinical decision making.
