The most commonly affected age group was from 50 to 59 years. The commonest clinical complaint was abdominal pain. The ileum was the most commonly affected anato\u00admical region, showing 25 lesions (47.16%). Radiologically irregular\/asymmetric wall thickening was detected in 42 cases (79.24%). Pathologically the most common malignancy was small intestinal adenocarcinoma, followed by carcinoid tumour, lymphoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). We found that there was a statistically significant association between the pathological lymphadenopathy (p = 0.005) and absent proximal intestinal dilatation (p = 0.01) with intestinal lymphoma. Also, there was a statistically significant association between the extra-intestinal mesenteric fat changes with carcinoid tumours (p = 0.001). Irregular\/asymmetric wall thickening was detected in 14 cases of small intestinal adenocarcinoma with a statistically significant association (p = 0.001) while exophytic pathological mass formation was statistically significant associated (p \u2264 0.001) with small intestinal GIST.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Multidetector CT enterography is a non-invasive and accurate method in the evaluation of focal and localized small intestinal malignant lesions.
