[Tumors of the small intestine].

Peculiarities of the clinical picture, diagnosis and surgical treatment of the small intestine tumors are considered in the paper, as well as immediate and late results of the treatment. The results of the treatment of 14 cases of the small intestine tumors are summed up (6 benign neoplasms and 8 malignant ones). The authors have come to the conclusion that in the most of cases tumors of the small intestine remain symptom-free for a long time; not infrequently they are complicated with intestinal ileus, perforation of the tumor and peritonitis. Resection of the portion of the intestine with tumors and of a segment of the mesentery with the removal of the enlarged regional lymph nodes provides an only radical method of the treatment. An original scheme of the small intestine tumors localization is set forth in the paper.
