Article Synopsis
- - A 75-year-old woman with abdominal pain and elevated inflammatory markers had a CT scan that revealed a perforated mass in her small intestine, leading to surgery and the discovery of a small intestinal leiomyosarcoma (LMS) after initial suspicion of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
- - The diagnosis of LMS is challenging and can often be misclassified as GIST due to similar features; imaging studies like CT can help but are not always conclusive.
- - This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing LMS as a potential cause of bowel perforation, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, and long-term follow-up due to the high risk of recurrence and metastasis.
