Leiomyosarcoma of the cecum in pediatric age: a case report and review of Italian reports

P E Caffarena et al. Eur J Pediatr Surg. 1993 Oct.

Abstract

The authors report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the cecum and review all the Italian reports of mesenchymal neoplasms registered in the RMS-Italy register. They emphasize the extreme rarity of intestinal leiomyosarcoma, especially with colon involvement: their case appears to be the only one registered in Italy in the last 12 years.
