Jejunal Leiomyoma presenting as intussuception.

Jejunal Leiomyoma presenting as intussuception.

Tumors of the small intestine are rare. Even though the small bowel accounts for 80% of the length and 90% of the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract, only 3% to 6% of gastrointestinal tumors and 1% of gastrointestinal malignancies arise from the small bowel. Leiomyoma, adenoma, lipoma, ha...
