Abstract
Small bowel polyps are less frequent than colorectal polyps and they have a diverse nature. They usually cause no symptoms, or non-specific symptoms such as recurrent abdominal pain or occult bleeding, and therefore clinical diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Moreover, small bowel is the part of gastrointestinal tract more difficult to access by endoscopy, but the new methods of enteroscopy and the development of capsule endoscopy are marked advances in the diagnosis and treatment of these polyps.In this paper the main features of polypoid lesions of the small intestine and their diagnostic and therapeutic management are reviewed.
