Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the small intestine is an unusual plasma cell neoplasm in this anatomic region with only 61 cases described so far. Clinical suspicion is infrequent owing to its location and nonspecific manifestations such as abdominal pain, obstructive symptoms or even bleeding. Diagnosis is reached through histopathological examination coupled with immunohistochemistry of the endoscopic biopsy or surgical resection specimens. Nevertheless, the differential diagnosis between EMP, lymphoma and other kinds of tumors can sometimes be troublesome. The managements include surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Generally, the prognosis of EMP is favorable, but occasionally it may relapse, or progress to a plasma cell myeloma. EMP should therefore be followed-up for a long period after treatment. In this comprehensive review of the current literature, the patients' characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and outcome were discussed.

Impact of enteroscopy on diagnosis and management of small bowel tumors

Small bowel tumors (SBTs) have been increasingly diagnosed in recent decades. The pathogenesis of this increment is largely unknown, but advances in radiological and endoscopic methods facilitate the improvement of the diagnosis. Capsule endoscopy (CE) and device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) allow the clinician to assess the entire small bowel in the search for suspicious lesions, or a cause of symptoms. In this review, we discuss the role of enteroscopy, techniques and strategies in the diagnosis and management of SBTs, and a brief description of the most common tumors.
