[Radiographic differential diagnosis of tumors of jejunum and ileum (author's transl)].

Tumors of the small intestine form only 1.5-8% of intestinal tumors. After a survey of localization, type of growth and tendency towards degeneration the most important clinical findings are described. The most common sign is high ileus. Barium swallow is recommended which, when all radiologic criteria are taken into account, may even permit identification of the type of tumor. Typical individual tumors are illustrated and described and differential diagnostic data are given. The potential and limits of angiography are discussed.
