General Considerations
- Small bowel tumors are relatively rare, accounting for only 2% of all GI malignancies
- Most lipomas of the GI tract occur in the colon, the small bowel being the 2nd most common site and accounting for about 25%
- Usually solitary but may be multiple
- Most small bowel lipomas are found in the ileum
- Most often submucosal and may be pedunculated
