title: [A case of leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine with perforative peritonitis].
abstract: On April 15th, 1986, the patient, a 58-year-old man, felt ill because of a stomachache. On April 15, he was referred to our hospital and admitted after having been diagnosed as having pan peritonitis. During surgery, an extraintestinal growth, a small fist-size tumor, was detected in the jejunum. The tumor was partly perforated, and a partial resection of the small intestine was carried out. A histopathological examination led to the diagnosis of a leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine. On June 12, 1987, the patient again returned to our hospital, complaining of a stomachache. A reoperation was performed for perforative peritonitis due to its recurrence but only palliative treatment could be provided.
