Core Tip

Core tip: This single-center study investigated a type of rare tumor originating from the angel of Treitz. The symptoms, diagnosis, surgical procedure, histology, and prognosis were evaluated. Although the tumors tended to be large, segmental jejunal resection on the left side of the mesenteric vessels was the treatment of choice.
