ABSTRACT

Los tumores de intestino delgado ofrecen un reto diagnóstico único como resultado de su baja prevalencia, representan sólo el 1 - 2 % de todos los tumores gastrointestinales. Son típicamente asintomáticos en sus primeros estadios, pero más del 90 % de los pacientes desarrollan síntomas cuando el tumor progresa. Pueden presentarse con dolor abdominal vago e intermitente, y pérdida de peso. Otros síntomas menos frecuentes son nauseas, vómitos, sangrado, obstrucción y anemia crónica. Se presentan 3 casos de pacientes con tumores de intestino delgado con diferente cuadro clínico de presentación (hemorragia digestiva, dolor abdominal, pérdida de peso, obstrucción intestinal) y se comparan los hallazgos clínicos, endoscópicos, radiológicos e histopatológicos con otros descritos previamente en la literatura.
