%X Purpose: To highlight the role of multi-detector computed tomography in
evaluation of small intestinal neoplastic lesions. Patient and Methods: Thirty
patients suspected to have small bowel neaoplasms were examined with 64 MDCT
and underwent surgical exploration. Result: Contrast enhanced MDCT enterography
easily diagnosed twenty patients with small intestinal neoplasms which were
confirmed with surgical exploration and histopathological results. Conclusions:
Our study has been proved that MDCT can be used as a front-line imaging
modality for detection of small bowel neoplasms, regarding its ability to show
intraluminal, mural and extraintestinal lesions with their characteristic
density and features to successfully differentiate between the different
neoplasms and sometimes stage them. However, operative exploration with
curative resection or biopsy is still the confirmatory diagnostic method.
