Even if small bowel tumors are benign, they need to be treated when they cause symptoms, such as gastrointestinal bleeding or enteric intussusception. It became possible to perform endoscopic treatment for small bowel lesions using DBE. Therefore for preventing surgical operation, it became important to detect small bowel tumors while endoscopic treatment is possible. CE has potential to survey small bowel tumors, especially in patients with polyposis.
