Core Tip |
The aim of this study was to elucidate the endoscopic characteristics of small intestinal malignant tumors. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy procedures at our institution were enrolled in the analysis. Malignant tumors were classified into three groups, Group 1: epithelial tumors; Group 2: small intestinal malignant lymphoma; and Group 3, small intestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We collected data from patients’ medical records to determine the endoscopic characteristics for each group. Group 1 and Group 2 were observed as solitary tumors. Enlarged white villi inside and/or surrounding the tumor were seen in 12.5%, 54.5%, and 0% in Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively (P <0.001). |
