Leiomyosarcoma of the rectum.
We have reported a case of leiomyosarcoma of the rectum. These tumors comprise 0.1% of all rectal tumors, with about 100 cases having been reported. Symptomatology is nonspecific; digital examination is the most effective method of detection. Local surgical excision is as effective as abdominoperineal resection.
