title: [Leiomyosarcoma of the Meckel's diverticulum and multiple diverticulosis of the ileum. Apropos of a case].
abstract: We report a case of a leiomyosarcoma arising in a Meckel's diverticulum in a man of 90 years, with multiple ileal diverticulosis. The clinical picture was similar to acute appendicitis and diagnosis was not made until resection of an abdominal mass with histological appearance of leiomyosarcoma. 59 cases of leiomyosarcoma of Meckel's diverticulum have previously been reported in the literature. No case until now has been reported in a patient of Caribbean origin neither in association with ileal diverticulosis. Although rare, leiomyosarcoma is the commonest sarcoma of Meckel's diverticulum, and with full resection of the tumor the prognosis is very good.
