Leiomyomas of the small intestine: a rare cause of abdominal emergency. Case report
Acta Chir Scand.
1987.
Abstract
Two cases of spontaneous perforation of small bowel leiomyomas are discussed, one previously asymptomatic, the other with a single episode of hematemesis two years earlier. Perforation of these tumours is rarely seen. Selective visceral angiography seems to be the most sensitive radiologic examination. New types of enteroscopes are being developed.
