“…The typical performance of lipoma on CT/MR images is the sharply demarcated, homogeneous fat-tissue density/signal mass closely related to the slightly thickened intestinal wall. Hounsfield units range between -80 and -120 [21] (Figure 3). Fat suppression MR sequences can provide additional assistance for a clear diagnosis.…”

Precise examination and diagnosis of small intestinal tumors is difficult because of the curved course and overlapping canal of the small intestine. Traditional technology for intestinal canal examination and endoscopy cannot exhibit the intestinal wall and extra-luminal structure well. With the development and advancement of multi-slice spiral computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography enteroclysis (CTE) and magnetic resonance enteroclysis (MRE) are widely used in the examination and diagnosis of small intestinal tumors. CTE and MRE, with three-dimensional imaging capabilities and excellent soft-tissue contrast, can analyze the abnormalities of peripheral intestinal structure as well as the tunica mucosa. In addition, these two technologies can clearly reveal the localization, appearance, degree of mesenteric infiltration and remote tumor metastasis, which increases our cognition of the imaging diagnosis for intestinal tumors. Here we review recent progress in imaging (CT and MRI) examination and diagnosis of small intestinal tumors.

“…Estos en general se presentan con compromiso metastásico al momento del diagnóstico, factor responsable del mal pronóstico de estas lesiones (2,(4)(5)(6)(7) . La enfermedad de Crohn se asocia a un mayor riesgo de desarrollar tumores malignos de ID -adenocarcinoma-afectación que es frecuentemente multifocal y de predominio en el ileon distal.…”

“…La mayoría de los tumores benignos de ID son asintomáticos y diagnosticados en forma incidental, siendo los más comunes: adenoma, tumores estromales gastrointestinales benignos, leiomioma, lipoma, hemangiomas y pólipos, estos últimos pueden ser secundarios a un síndrome de Peutz-Jeghers, enfermedad que se caracteriza por pigmentación mucocutánea y múltiples pólipos hamartomatosos en todo el tracto gastrointestinal, de predominio en el ID (1,2,(4)(5)(6)(7) . Existen diversos métodos para la evaluación del ID, que incluyen estudios baritados, tomografía computada (TC), resonancia magnética (RM), enteroscopía y la cápsula endoscópica.…”

Los tumores benignos y malignos del ID pueden tener origen en todos los componentes histológicos que forman el intestino incluyendo: tejido epitelial, tejido linfoide, vasos, nervios y músculo (4) . …”

Small bowel neoplasms are rare, accounting for approximately 3-6% of all primary malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. MDCT-E is an imaging modality that combines the advantages of enteroclysis and helical CT, allowing the detection of small bowel diseases wherever they are located (intraluminal, intramural, or extramural). The aim of our study was to assess the reliability of MDCT-E IntroducciónLos tumores de intestino delgado (ID) son raros, representando aproximadamente 3-6% de las neoplasias del tubo digestivo; en pacientes sintomáticos hasta un 60% de los casos son malignos (1,2) . Generalmente tienen una presentación clínica inespecí-fica, similar a otros procesos que afectan al tracto gastrointestinal, por lo que su diagnóstico es tardío y difícil. En la mayoría de los casos son asintomáticos hasta etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad. Cuando presentan síntomas, los más comunes son: dolor abdominal, pérdida de peso, naúseas, vómitos, diarrea, hemorragia digestiva y obstrucción intestinal, que en general se relacionan con el tamaño tumoral y localización en el ID (3) .

“…A range of diagnostic examinations may be used to facilitate diagnosis. They include: contrast-enhanced X-ray examination of the gastrointestinal tract, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopy (capsule endoscopy), arteriography and scintigraphy (11,12). However, none of these methods is perfect, and carcinoma of the small bowel is, in the majority of cases, diagnosed in an intraoperatively advanced stage.…”

The paper presents a rare case of a patient with adenocarcinoma of the small intestine who reported to the hospital due to non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. Following diagnostic examinations, the patient underwent a surgery. The post-operative period proceeded with no complications. The case presented below confirms the usefulness of imaging examinations (abdominal CT) when pathologies within the small intestine are suspected. An accurate interpretation of the result was an indication for a surgical intervention, but the final diagnosis is still established on the basis of the histopathological examination.
