Abstract
The small bowel is one of the most common sites of origin of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in general, and small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) are the most common gastroenteropancreatic NETs. The incidence of SBNETs increased fourfold between 1973 and 2002, and has overtaken adenocarcinoma as the most common histology [1]. Whether this represents improved diagnosis, widespread use of proton pump inhibitors, or changing environmental influences is unknown.
