title: [Leiomyosarcomas of the small intestine].
abstract: The main clinical and anatomico-pathological aspects of small bowel leiomyosarcomas are stressed. These are rarely observed malignant tumours, which sometimes prove difficult to diagnose and have a poor prognosis. Also characteristic is the substantial difficulty often encountered in defining the malignancy grade histologically.
