Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine. Contribution of computerized tomography to its diagnosis

: The case of a patient with a small bowel leiomyosarcoma in whom a correct preoperative diagnosis was done due to important clues provided by computed tomography is presented. We present these findings, and suggest that this new exploratory method may be useful for the study of patients with small bowel intramural tumors, in whom other studies are often non-conclusive.
