Abstract
Small bowel tumors are a rare condition accounting less than 1% of all tumors. It is a very heterogeneous group including different cell lines, both of benign (adenomas, lipomas, leiomyomas) and malignant nature (adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, lymphomas, sarcomas). Several polypoid syndromes are related with small-bowel polypus including familial adenomatous polyposis, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Cowden syndrome and juvenile polyposis syndrome. Many risk factors associated with tumoral growth, both inherited and acquired and environmental factors, have been described. Because its non-specific symptomatology and its complex imaging diagnosis (less accessible locations), both endoscopic and with other imaging tests, their diagnosis is a challenge. Although treatment varies according with each tumor type, endoscopic removal and resection with free resection margins, it is the best alternative.
