Case description

In light of the tendency of these tumors to pursue an
indolent clinical course with a significant risk of late
relapse, a brisk follow-up is advocated for all patients.

Images from upper GI series may demonstrate the lesion
in up to 29% of cases.CT scan can demonstrate up to 27%
of benign small bowel tumors, especially of size > 2 cm.
Upper GI endoscopy has been employed successfully for
the detection of benign jejunal lesions in 12-30% of cases.
