  • Title: Duodenal leiomyoma as a cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
    Author: Morris SJ, Shifrin HD, Feinberg A, Rogers AI.
    Journal: South Med J; 1978 Apr; 71(4):470-3. PubMed ID: 305663.
    Abstract:
    A case report and review of the problem of duodenal leiomyoma are presented. Although these lesions are rare and usually asymptomatic, they can present with symptoms of hemorrhage, obstruction, pain, and perforation. Barium roentgenographic examination may show filling defects of compressive lesions. Angiography shows a hypervascular, encapsulated lesion. Endoscopy may reveal a submucosal mass with central depression. At operation, it is important to distinguish the benign leiomyoma from leiomyosarcoma.
