The paper presents the results of studies of the small bowel in 9 patients with the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. The indications for the study were the clinical picture of gastrointestinal bleeding and the symptoms of ileus. The author's intubation enterographic procedure using the better composition of barium suspension and an infusion system for administering contract substances into the small bowel, an improved fractional contrasting procedure, and a procedure employing the agent Entero-view was applied for contrasting the small bowel. All the procedures revealed an obvious picture of polyposis of the small bowel. The minimum size of detected tumors was 0.3-0.4 cm in diameter. Emphasis is laid on the quantitative image of neoplasms with Entero-view and the therapeutic effect of intubation enterography in evolving small-small intestinal intussusception.

On the grounds of the study of 78 cases with malignant tumors of the colon it has been found that multiple cancer of the colon and rectum has no specific clinical picture- the fact which hinders the diagnosis of this condition. As there is a possibility of the metachronic development of the colon multiple tumors it should be recommended to keep all the patients operated upon for a neoplasm of this organ under a continuous dispensary observation.
