[Leiomyomas of small bowel].

    Summary

    Small bowel leiomyomas, often presenting as recurrent bleeding or obstruction, require advanced imaging like CT scans for diagnosis. These benign tumors carry a risk of malignant transformation, necessitating vigilance.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Leiomyomas are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Small bowel leiomyomas are rare, often presenting with vague symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • This study reviews 48 years of literature and presents 6 personal cases of small bowel leiomyomas.
    • Key clinical manifestations included recurrent intestinal bleeding and, less commonly, small bowel obstruction.

    Findings:

    • Preoperative diagnosis may necessitate advanced imaging modalities such as angiography and computed tomography (CT) in addition to standard physical, endoscopic, and ultrasound examinations.
    • Malignant transformation of small bowel leiomyomas was observed in 2 of the presented cases.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for small bowel leiomyomas, especially in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • Awareness of the potential for malignant transformation is crucial for appropriate patient management and follow-up.
