  • Title: [Leiomyosarcoma in jejunal diverticulum. A case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Fiori E, Ansali A, Galati G, Graziano P, Drudi FM, Maccioni F, Cangemi V.
    Journal: G Chir; 1996 May; 17(5):269-75. PubMed ID: 8755228.
    Abstract:
    The Authors describe a case of double jejunal diverticulum, characterized by the presence of a leiomyosarcoma in one diverticulum and ectopic pancreatic mucosa in the other. The rarity of the occurrence of a leiomyosarcoma in the diverticular area is outlined; only few cases have been reported in Literature, excluding those originating, from Meckel's diverticulum. Barium X-rays of the small intestine allowed the neoplasia to be discovered, while an Echo-Color-Doppler examination suggested the histological type given the high vascularization typical of leiomyosarcomas.
