    GSmall bowel tumors are a rare medical occurrence, constituting only about 5% of all gastrointestinal tract tumors. Given the rarity, diagnosing these tumors presents distinct challenges. Benign small bowel tumors are noncancerous growths that do not spread to other parts of the body. They typically grow slowly, providing ample time for detection and treatment before causing any severe complications. Common benign tumors include adenomas, lipomas, leiomyomas, and GISTs (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors). These usually present symptoms like abdominal pain, bleeding, or obstruction; however, they might remain asymptomatic in some cases. Unlike benign lesions malignant tumors such as adenocarcinoma commonly present as irregular wall thickening with marked contrast enhancement reflecting their hypervascular nature along with encasement/invasion into adjacent structures and enlarged regional lymph nodes. Imaging methods are at the forefront in the diagnosis, staging and post-treatment follow-up of small bowel tumors. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging should be used as complementary radiological methods depending on the patient and/or disease status.
