A rare duodenal leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed in a 10-year-old boy. The child underwent a successful Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy) for treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors arising from smooth muscle tissue.
  • Duodenal leiomyosarcomas are exceptionally uncommon, particularly in pediatric patients.
  • This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of rare gastrointestinal tumors in children.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old boy presented with symptoms attributed to a large duodenal mass.
  • The patient's low body weight (22 kg) suggested a significant underlying pathology.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed a large tumor originating from the duodenum.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.
  • The tumor was surgically resectable, necessitating a complex procedure.

  • The Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy) was performed for complete tumor removal.

    • Implications:

    • Successful surgical management of large duodenal leiomyosarcomas in children is feasible.
    • The Whipple procedure is a viable option for treating pediatric duodenal leiomyosarcomas.
    • This case contributes to the limited literature on pediatric duodenal leiomyosarcomas, informing future clinical practice and research.
