[Leiomyoblastoma. Apropos of a case of jejunal localization]. / Leiomioblastoma. A propósito de um caso de localização jejunal.

Jejunal leiomyoblastoma was first described in 1960, and since then many reviews were made because its histological particularity, biological behavior, and rarity. Gastric localization is most common, and only 6 jejunal cases were described. A case of a 48 years old man with tumoral mass localized only on a proximal jejunum loop was operated because of intestinal obstruction due to intussusception of a jejunal leiomyoblastoma. Although the presence of some malignant criteria like lymphnodes and peripancreatic tissue metastasis after one year of follow-up, no sign of disease was present.
