N2  - Small bowel tumors are detected in approximately 10% of patients with small bowel endoscopies for obscure or overt mid-intestinal bleeding. Small bowel tumors may be of malignant or benign etiology. Malignant etiologies include adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, or lymphoma, whereas benign lesions are typically lipomas, inflammatory polyps, or adenomas. Within the group of nonneoplastic lesions inflammatory polyps are most frequent. Significant bleeding and bowel obstruction due to intussusception might occur, and surgical or endoscopic treatment has been reported for symptomatic patients. A case is demonstrated with an inflammatory fibroid polyp detected by capsule endoscopy and confirmed by balloon enteroscopy. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
