title: [Leiomyoblastoma. Apropos of a case of jejunal localization].
abstract: Jejunal leiomyoblastoma was first described in 1960, and since then many reviews were made because its histological particularity, biological behavior, and rarity. Gastric localization is most common, and only 6 jejunal cases were described. A case of a 48 years old man with tumoral mass localized only on a proximal jejunum loop was operated because of intestinal obstruction due to intussusception of a jejunal leiomyoblastoma. Although the presence of some malignant criteria like lymphnodes and peripancreatic tissue metastasis after one year of follow-up, no sign of disease was present.
