Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of small intestine leiomyosarcoma. Methods:Ten patients with small intestine leiomyosarcoma in Changhai Hospital from 1993 to 2001 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Radical resection was performed in 6 cases with the shortest survival time being over 1 year and the longest being 8.5 years (still in good health). One case received extirpation operation with the survival time being over 4 years.Partial resection was performed in 3 cases,and the 3 patients died 1,2,3 years after operation respectively.Conclusion:The small intestine leiomyosarcoma is rare and its diagnosis is difficult due to the lack of clinical feature. Final diagnosis should be based on pathology.The disease is not very sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy,which makes surgical treatment the choice.
