title: [Tumors of the small intestine. Case reports and comments].
abstract: Tumours of the small intestine are extremely rare and have a particularly severe prognosis. The impossibility of making an early diagnosis due to the scarcity of precise symptoms during the early stages of the disease and the lack of safe instrumental tests limits the results of treatment which is essentially surgical. In order to contribute to the study of the disease and improve its prognosis, the authors report the cases which they have observed and review the literature.
