[X-ray diagnosis of primary tumors of the small bowel (report of 24 cases)].
Primary tumors of the small bowel are relatively rare. The 24 cases reported in this paper have been confirmed by operation and pathology. Based on clinical and radiologic findings and review of literature, the main X-ray manifestations of primary tumors of the small bowel were as follows: (1) Stenosis; (2) Filling defect; (3) Stiffness of involved intestinal wall with destruction of mucosa and loss of valvulae conniventes; (4) Intestinal obstruction or intussusception; (5) Dynamic dilatation and reversed peristalsis of the bowel segment proximal to the tumor. The causes of misdiagnosis and failure of detection and the site of predilection of the tumor were discussed. The differential points between benign and malignant tumors, sarcoma and carcinoma, metastatic tumor and primary tumor, Crohn's disease and carcinoma were mentioned.
