Follow up CT abdomen
7
Laparatomy + excision of mass performed
9
Histology - Gross specimen of jejunal mass
10
Histology- Small bowel leiomyoma Abundance of smooth Muscle Cells C-kit negative stain

LEIOMYOMAS Leiomyomas comprise approximately one fourth of the benign gastrointestinal tumors most common symptomatic benign tumors of the small bowel. Approximately Jejunum 50% of cases ileum in 31% of cases Duodenum Almost one half of all lesions are <5 centimeters The tumor is usually single Firm grayish-white well-defined Encapsulated Originates from the mesenchyma and arises from spindle cells of the muscular layer of the intestine Symptoms can be vague and non-specific, making it difficult to diagnose.
13
Investigations CT scan - can show 90% of leiomyomas magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) barium studies Endoscopy endoscopic ultrasound angiography
14
differential diagnoses GIST Lymphomas Adenocarcinomas mesenteric cysts cystic lymphangiomas Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for gastrointestinal leiomyomas by conventional or laparoscopic approach
15
Conclusion Patient Post-operatively Leiomyomas are benign in nature Diagnosis can be delayed due to non-specific symptoms CT scan is best modality of investigations and Surgical resection is best modality of treatment Patient did very well post operatively. Discharged POD 7 OPD in 2/52
