Abstract

This paper concerns a case of leiomyosarcoma of the first jejunal loop both bleeding and perforated. Authors do outline the rarity of this associated complication and hence how correct diagnosis of the disease is difficult. According to their experience, the relative early onset of complications allows a surgical approach on the malignancy in an early stage.
