title: [Sarcomas of the small intestine].
abstract: Four cases of sarcoma of the small intestine (2 leiomyosarcoma, 1 fibrosarcoma, and 1 Hodgkin's disease) are described. In each case, diagnosis was the outcome of surgery: emergency operation for acute abdomen in three cases (2 mechanical ileus, 1 perforation); exploratory laparotomy for recurrent haemorrhage following negative X-ray examination per os and clyster of the digestive tract on a number of occasions. The relevant literature is surveyed. Attention is drawn to the different anatomopathological and clinical forms, and to the difficulty of diagnosis.
