Leiomioma perfurado do intestino delgado

A perforated jejunal leiomyoma is a rare condition; only seven cases have been described in the literature. We report a case of a 45 years old man with a perforate acute abdomen. At laparotomy, a 12 cm multilobulated firm mass, located 20 cm distal from Treitz ligament, was removed. Histological sections disclosed a jejunal leiomyoma. The benign pattern of the lesion was confirmed with no mitosis and no atypical cellurarity. Five years later, the patient is free of the disease.
