A CASE OF EPITHELIOID LEIOMYOSARCOMA OF THE JEJUNUM

Abstract

The patient was a 73-year-old male who came to the outpatient clinic for edema of both lower extremities and lower back pain. A large pelvic tumor was noticed. Abdominal exploration revealed a large cystic mass in the pelvis that seemed to arise from the jejunal wall, and it was excised.
The pathological diagnosis was epithelioid leiomyosarcoma.
This rare tumor is especially rare in the small intestine.
