INTRODUCTION
Benign and malignant small intestinal tumors are uncommon. Literature
reports that the small intestine constitutes about 75% of the total GI tract.
Small intestine malignancies account for less than 2% of gastrointestinal
malignancies. Malignant small intestinal tumors constitute 0.1% to 0.3% of all
malignancies [1-3]. Benign tumors usually seen are adenomas, lymphangioma,
lipoma, leiomyoma, desmoids tumors, and hamartomas. They are usually
asymptomatic but can present with complications [3,4]. Malignant lesions of the
small intestine, on the other hand, are usually symptomatic. These include
adenocarcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma, and carcinoids [5].
