title: Leiomyosarcoma of the duodenum.
abstract: Leiomyosarcoma of the duodenum is a rare disease and its characteristics have been described previously in the literature. We present a case of duodenal leiomyosarcoma, which was diagnosed by several imaging techniques prior to operation. Findings of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography, and angiography in this case are discussed.
