Leiomyoma of Meckel's diverticulum associated with adenocarcinoma of the descending colon.
A case of leiomyoma of Meckel's diverticulum associated with a carcinoma of the descending colon, presenting with intestinal obstruction, is described. Only two cases of smooth muscle tumors of the small intestine associated with carcinoma of the large bowel have been described so far, and ours is probably the first case of its kind to be reported.
