AB Despite  its  length  and  surface  area,  the  small  bowel  accounts  for  less  than  5%  of  all  gastrointestinal  cancers,  and  has  a  malignancy  rate  50-fold  lower  than  that  of  the  colon.1-3  When  tumors  do  arise  in  the  small  bowel,  however,  they  tend  to  evade  detection  for  some  time  and  therefore  commonly  present  at  an  advanced  stage.  This  chapter  will  review  the  most  common  types  of  small  bowel  neoplasms  and  their  management,  including  adenocarcinoma,  gastrointestinal  stromal  tumor,  and  lymphoma,  while  excluding  tumors  of  the  duodenum  and  neuroendocrine  tumors,  which  are  covered  elsewhere  in  this  volume.
