[A Patient with Small Intestinal Leiomyosarcoma and Intussusception Who Underwent Single Port Surgery].

The patient was a 33-year-old female. She was referred to our hospital from a previous clinic with abdominal pain and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT revealed intussusception, leading to a diagnosis of intussusception with a small intestinal tumor as an advanced part.

Contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography for Diagnosis of Small Intestinal Leiomyosarcoma with Hepatic Metastasis: A Clinical Report of One Case and Review of the Literature.

Background: Small intestinal leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical symptoms are atypical and can be complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding and intestinal obstruction.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 73-year-old patient with small intestinal smooth muscle sarcoma with hepatic metastasis.

Leiomyosarcoma of the rectum: A systematic review of recent literature.

Leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are rare tumors originating from the muscular layer. We performed a literature review of cases of confirmed rectal leiomyosarcomas (rLMSs) to clarify the history of such an infrequent tumor arising at such an uncommon location. In this research local recurrence was related to poorly differentiated rLMS and no other association between recurrence and any criteria was found.

The rare entity of gastrointestinal leiomyosarcomas: An Italian multicenter retrospective study in high-volume referral centers.

Background: After a huge efficacy of imatinib in treating patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) was proven, a maximum effort was made to make a differential diagnosis between GISTs and gastrointestinal leiomyosarcomas (GI-LMS), showing the latter to be an extremely rare tumor entity. Limited data on GI-LMS biology, clinical behavior and drug-sensibility are available, and the clinical decision-making in this subgroup of patients is usually challenging.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective observational study on patients with diagnosed GI-LMS from 2004 to 2020 within six high-volume referral centers in Italy.

High grade leiomyosarcoma of the transverse colon with positive lymph node metastasis: to treat or not to treat with adjuvant radiation therapy?

Intra-abdominal leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are aggressive malignant tumours arising from smooth muscle cells. These neoplasms are extremely rare and account for 10%-20% of primary soft tissue sarcomas and approximately 0.1% of all colorectal malignancies.

Rare serosal cystic gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor with extensive intestinal metaplasia in an adherent gastric mucosa; a case report in a 65-year-old male.

Gastrointestinal (GI) intestinal stromal tumors account for 60% of mesenchymal GI tract tumors commonly located in the stomach and small intestine, predominantly solid tumors that rarely undergo cystic degeneration. A 65-year-old patient with increasing upper abdominal swelling and a computed tomography scan abdomen showed a large unilocular 17 × 16 × 15 cm lesion. A colossal cystic swelling in the lesser omentum, anterior to the stomach, was found upon exploration.

Digestive pseuodpolyposis as a form of presentation of digestive metastases of primary gastric leiomyosarcoma.

A 71-year-old male was diagnosed with gastric leiomyosarcoma in 2020 after biopsies of an ulcerated gastric lesion. Despite oncological treatment, he presented bone, liver and lung progression. Fourth line treatment with Pazopanib was started in 2022 with no evidence of intestinal or peritoneal metastases.

Leiomyosarcoma of the lower rectum managed by radiotherapy and surgery: A case report and review of literature.

Rectal leiomyosarcoma is a very rare entity. Surgery is the main treatment, but the place of radiation therapy remains unclear. A 67-year-old woman was referred for a few-weeks' history of bleeding and anal pain intensified during defecation.

Computed tomographic findings may be useful for differentiating small intestinal adenocarcinomas, lymphomas, and spindle cell sarcomas in dogs.

An improved understanding of the CT characteristics for histologically confirmed primary intestinal tumors would be helpful for guiding prognosis and treatment plans in affected dogs. This retrospective, multi-center, analytical study aimed to evaluate the CT characteristics for the differentiation of adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, and spindle cell sarcoma (SCS) in dogs. Thirty-seven dogs who underwent contrast CT and histopathological examinations were included (adenocarcinomas, n = 11; lymphomas, n = 12; SCS, n = 14).

Primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma in a woman with uterovaginal prolapse.

Primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma is a very uncommon and aggressive neoplasm. We presented a right-sided ovarian leiomyosarcoma in a woman in her late 40s. No case has been described in the literature till now of primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma in a woman with uterovaginal prolapse.

Metastatic low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with variable morphologies in the ovaries and mesentery: A case report.

Background: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) classically exhibits a proliferative morphology. However, morphological variation of extrauterine tumors presents a diagnostic challenge.

Case Summary: We report the case of a 76-year-old female patient with extensive extrauterine and abdominal neoplastic lesions.
