AB Primary  tumors  of  the  small  intestine,  both  benign  and  malignant,  are  rare.  With  the  potential  to  arise  from  virtually  every  cell  type  within  the  small  intestine—the  epithelium,  neural  tissues,  and  lymphatic  and  mesenchymal  cells—the  small  bowel  may  also  be  the  site  for  metastases  from  other  primary  tumors.  The  variety  and  uncommon  nature  of  these  tumors  make  generalizations  regarding  their  management  difficult.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  review  the  epidemiology  and  clinical  diagnostic  and  management  strategies  for  benign  and  malignant  neoplasms  of  the  small  bowel.
