    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors that can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Exogastric leiomyomas are rare, typically presenting asymptomatically.
    • Ileal leiomyomas can lead to complications such as intussusception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two rare cases of gastrointestinal leiomyomas.
    • To discuss the diagnostic challenges in identifying these tumors.
    • To review the relevant literature on gastrointestinal leiomyomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of an exogastric asymptomatic leiomyoma.
    • Case report of an ileal leiomyoma presenting as intussusception.
    • Literature review on gastrointestinal leiomyomas.

    Main Results:

    • An exogastric leiomyoma was identified without symptoms.
    • An ileal leiomyoma was diagnosed due to intussusception.
    • The rarity of these presentations was highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastrointestinal leiomyomas, though rare, can present with diverse clinical scenarios.
    • Accurate diagnosis of gastrointestinal leiomyomas requires careful consideration of clinical presentation and imaging.
    • Further literature review is essential for understanding and managing these rare tumors.
