Imaging of Small Bowel Tumors and Mimics

Abstract Small bowel tumors are rare with nonspecific and protean clinical presentation. Early diagnosis of small is desirable as they can be associated significant morbidity. In malignant tumors, delayed may result in dissemination metastasis leading to poor outcomes. Imaging evaluation challenging due unpredictable luminal distension, peristalsis, motion. addition, the lack distinction between intraluminal lesions contents difficult at times. Computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MR) enterography most common imaging techniques for tumors. While these not able detect provide comprehensive lumen, wall, extramural structures more than 2 cm. Acquaintance appearance benign allow improved detection during CT MR studies. this review, we discuss appearances, approach, differential on cross-sectional
