“…For the malignant small bowel tumors, leiomyosarcomas are outnumbered in frequency by carcinoids, adenocarcinomas, and lymphomas. Most are symptomatic with recurrent melena, pain, palpable mass, and weight loss [4].…”

We report three cases of unsuspected stromal tumors of the small bowel (STSB). These cases were diagnosed preoperatively by sonography, the imaging was completed for some with barium studies, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or angiography. To our knowledge, the use of this noninvasive technique for detecting this type of tumor has not been described in the literature. Moreover, we believe that some sonographic findings such as crescentic tumoral necrosis may appear highly suggestive of STSB.

“…Most of the lesions occur in the fifth and sixth decades. The clinical manifestation in the majority of cases includes abdominal pain, gastrointestinal blood loss, and palpable abdominal mass [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…In this regard, it has been estimated that anywhere from 20 to 70% of the leiomyosarcomas are totally exophytic [5][6][7][8][9][10]12]. In 2 large series [8,13] about 45% of the gastrointestinal contrast studies were considered unremarkable.…”

Five cases of exophytic gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma were evaluated by sonography. In 3 of the 5 cases, identification of intraluminal air or intestinal lumen in an eccentric location to the mass was helpful in recognizing the exophytic nature of the mass. Tumor necrosis was present in all of the masses and also in 1 case of hepatic metastasis. Recognition of the exophytic nature of the mass and the presence of tumor necrosis favor the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.

“…For this decision pathologists have adopted certain histologie criteria advocated by Evans3 in assaying the malignant po¬ tentialities of uterine myomata. These cri¬ teria include ( 1 ) increase in size and number of tumor cells; (2) shorter, plumper cells with more oval nuclei than normal; (3) inequality in size and shape of cells; (4) lack of differentiation in cells;…”
