“…This can be explained by two reasons: firstly, there are no specific radiological signs of the tumor and secondly, the distal location in the duodenum makes tumor inaccessible to endoscopy. In addition, even if endoscopic visualization of the tumor is possible, its extra mucosal development makes biopsies often negative [4,7].…”

“…Indeed, on one hand the anatomical complexity of the duodenum imposes different procedures adapted to the location of the tumor, and on the other hand, the rarity of lymph node metastases arouses debate for the need for node dissection. Among the published cases, only 52 cases had a curative surgery [2][3][4][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The review of the various procedures carried out (Table 1) found that the choice of surgical procedure depended much more on the location and the size of the tumor that on the need for node dissection.…”

The duodenal leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor. Its location in the duodenum makes diagnosis difficult and often delayed. Surgical treatment is not consensual because it must take into account anatomical imperatives which vary depending on the duodenal portion and oncological requirements that are not currently well known especially with regard to the utility of lymphadenectomy. We report 2 cases of leiomyosarcomas located at the angle of Treitz. This location is exceptional and only few cases were reported in the literature. From these 2 new cases and a review of the literature, we analyze the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of duodenal leiomyosarcoma.

“…In the small bowel the frequency of leiomyosarcomas amounts to 10% of all malignant growths, but they occur almost never in the duodenum (2). In a case report published recently, the endoscopical characteristics of a leiomyosarcoma of the duodenum are described (3). Leiomyosarcomas of the colon are as rare as those of the esophagus (4) (5-7%).…”

A case report of a patient suffering from diffuse leiomyosarcomatosis of the gastrointestinal tract is presented. The endoscopic features of the lesions localized in the stomach, the small bowel and the colon are compared with the radiological data. A description of the pathology of these polypoid lesions is given. The origin of this widespread leiomyosarcomatosis of the gastrointestinal system is discussed.

A 61-year old woman developed a tumourous nodule in her left leg. Fifteen years ago a similar tumour had been removed in the same localization. Histological examination performed on biopsy material showed bundles of predominantly fusiform tumour cells with nuclear pleomorphism and many mitotic figures. Electron microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma by demonstration of the ultrastructural characteristics of smooth muscle cells. Cellular differentiation showed various degree ranging from smooth muscle cell type to dedifferentiated edematous tumour cells with scanty myofilaments. An important finding was the demonstration of multiple accumulated centrioles.
