[Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine. A rare case of abdominal emergency].
Small bowel leiomyosarcomas are uncommon potentially curable tumors, unfortunately diagnosed at an advanced stage. The Authors report one case of leiomyosarcoma of the small bowel, with an eight-day history of severe abdominal pain, operated on, in emergency, for perforation with peritonitis. A review of English literature on this subject is reported.
