Small intestinal mesenchymal tumors are not always cancerous, clinically small intestinal mesenchymal tumors can be divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors.
Small intestinal mesenchymal tumors are mainly caused by mesenchymal tissues of the digestive tract. The malignancy of small intestinal mesenchymal tumors is mainly due to the fact that mesenchymal tumors have multidirectional differentiation of primitive mesenchymal stem cells, and can also induce malignancy.
If it is a benign tumor, mesenchymal tumors are junctional tumors, small tumors, and no symptoms; if it is a malignant tumor, patients will show abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, tumors and other symptoms, and in severe cases, liver and intra-abdominal metastases will also occur.
In general, mesenchymal tumors smaller than two centimeters do not require surgical treatment; mesenchymal tumors larger than two centimeters are considered malignant tumors, and should be operated under the guidance of a doctor.
Patients who are clearly small intestinal mesenchymal tumors should go to the hospital in time to find out the problem as early as possible and treat it as early as possible.
