    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Leiomyomas are uncommon neoplasms arising from smooth muscle tissue.
    • Digestive tract tumors represent a diverse group of neoplasms.
    • The jejunoileal region is a rare site for leiomyoma development.

    Purpose:

    • To report the incidence and clinical presentation of jejunoileal leiomyomas.
    • To highlight the diagnostic and management challenges associated with these rare tumors.
    • To review the outcomes of patients treated for leiomyoma in this specific location.

    Summary:

    • Four cases of jejunoileal leiomyomas were identified among 159 digestive tumors over an 18-year period.
    • Two cases presented with intestinal occlusion, while the other two exhibited significant bleeding.
    • Surgical intervention was the primary treatment modality for all identified cases.

    Impact:

    • This study contributes to the limited literature on jejunoileal leiomyomas, emphasizing their rarity and potential for serious complications.
    • Understanding the clinical behavior of these tumors can aid in timely diagnosis and appropriate management strategies.
    • Highlights the importance of considering leiomyomas in the differential diagnosis of obstructive or bleeding small bowel lesions.
