SMALL BOWEL LEIOMYOMA; CASE REPORT
Abstract
Tumour of small bowel, both benign and malignant, are relatively uncommon and often present a diagnostic challenge as their symptoms are often vague and mimic with other diseases of the digestive tract. Here is a case which was suffering from nonspecific chronic abdominal pain for a long time, about 10 months, before operation indicated by gut obstruction. Radiographic studies, UGI, SBFT, BE and CT were performed. Dilatation of proximal jejunum with mucosal edema were demonstrated. No definite cause of obstruction is detected and the contrast media passing through the colon was observed. Intussusception of small bowel with self release was diagnosed.
UGI = Upper G.I.
SBFT = Small Bowel Follow Through Study
BE = Barium Enaema
