    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Benign small bowel tumors are rare and often present with nonspecific symptoms.
    • Understanding their clinical presentation and pathology is essential for timely diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation, pathological findings, and outcomes of benign small bowel tumors.
    • To compare these findings with existing literature and emphasize diagnostic challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 84 cases of benign small bowel tumors.
    • Exclusion of tumors associated with systemic diseases, congenital anomalies, or specific anatomical regions.
    • Comparison of findings with approximately 2000 cases from published literature.

    Main Results:

    • The most common benign small bowel tumors were leiomyomas (36), lipomas (22), and angiomas (9).
    • Common presenting symptoms included obstruction (42%), hemorrhage (34%), and pain (22%).
    • Radiological diagnosis was achieved in 30 patients; local resection resulted in no deaths or major complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Benign small bowel tumors present with varied symptoms, with obstruction and hemorrhage being most frequent.
    • High index of suspicion and radiological evaluation are key for preoperative diagnosis due to nonspecific clinical signs.
    • Surgical resection is a safe and effective treatment modality for benign small bowel tumors.
