In the first case we were able to demonstrate the growth roentgenologically. In the second the obstruction was more complete and the lesion could not be visualized with barium because of the intestinal contents ahead of the barium meal. Tumors of the small bowel fall into two major classes, benign and malignant. Benign tumors include fibroma, adenoma, lipoma, and myoma, all of which are extremely rare.
