Beneficial Effects of Combining Computed Tomography Enteroclysis/Enterography with Capsule Endoscopy for Screening Tumor Lesions in the Small Intestine

Table 3

Comparison of the computed tomography enteroclysis/enterography (CTE) and capsule endoscopy (CE) in terms of the final diagnoses.

Number	Sex/age	CTE	CE	Final diagnosis	Reference standard
1	F/55	No findings	Jejunal SMT	NET	BE, liver metastasis
2	M/74	Tumorous lesion in the ileum	Sores, ulcers	Ectopic pancreas	BE, surgery
3	F/58	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	Angioectasia	Small intestine GIST	Surgery
4	F/80	Densely stained punctiform lesion in the ileum	Sores, redness	Capillary hemangioma	BE
5	M/78	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	No findings	Small intestine GIST	BE, surgery
6	F/78	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	Sores, ulcers	Small intestine GIST	BE, surgery
7	F/25	Pedunculated mass in the jejunum	No findings	PJS	BE
8	F/55	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	No findings	Small intestine GIST	BE, surgery
9	M/72	Nonstained tumor mass in the small intestine	SMT	Lipoma	BE, surgery
10	M/72	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	SMT	NET	BE
11	M/59	No findings	Polyps	Cronkhite-Canada syndrome	CE
12	F/59	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	SMT	Small intestine GIST	BE, surgery
13	M/87	Tumor mass in contact with the small intestine	SMT	Metastatic small bowel tumor	CTE, CE, anamnestic

SMT: submucosal tumor; NET: neuroendocrine tumors; GIST: gastrointestinal stromal tumor; PJS: Peutz-Jeghers’ syndrome; BE: balloon endoscopy.
