| [ Summary ] |
At one time small bowel tumors were thought to be rare. However, various lesions are now observed due to recent advances in balloon endoscopy which have made detailed examinations of the entire small intestine possible. Image enhanced endoscopy is also useful for diagnosing those lesions. Examination of the terminal ileum during colonoscopy is also important to detect tumors. We report on cases involving an aberrant pancreas located in the jejunum, a colonic muco-submucosal elongated polyp-like ileal polyp, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome and a depressed type adenoma in the ileum. |
