Hemoperitoneum secondary to exogastric leiomyosarcomas and leiomyoblastomas.
A case report and review of the literature on hemoperitoneum secondary to gastric leiomyosarcomas and leiomyoblastomas are presented. Hemoperitoneum is a rare and usually unsuspected complication of exogastric tumors. At present there is no evidence that intraperitoneal bleeding from these neoplasms leads to peritoneal seeding and worsened survival.
