Abstract:
Leiomyoma is a neoplasm of smooth muscle relatively common in the stomach, but very rare in the duodenal location. Recurrent bouts of severe melana remain the most frequent presenting symptom for leiomyoma. A 69-year-old man presented to us with a 4-day history of melena. Endoscopy revealed norinal mucosa covered ovoid elevated lesion with central linear depression and ulcer at the second portion of duodenum. Endoscopic biopsy showed chronic inflammation only. Duodenal mass was excised through a duodenotomy. Pathological diagnosis was leiomycena.
