Description

A symptom-causing duodenal stenosis diagnosed in a 47-year-old patient was found to be attributable to a malignant leiomyoblastoma. Ultrasonography, computerized tomography and MRI permitted a space-occupying process to be detected in the duodenum and a further tumour in the jejunum could be revealed by examinations of gastrointestinal transit. The presence of a total of three substantial tumours, one each in duodenum, jejunum and ileum, was however proven by angiography alone. (orig./MG)

Abstract (German)

Eine symptomatische Duodenalstenose bei einem 47jaehrigen Patienten erbrachte als Grund ein malignes Leiomyoblastom. Ultraschall, Computer-Tomographie und MRI konnten die Diagnose einer duodenalen Raumforderung ermoeglichen, die Magen-Darm-Passage erbrachte einen weiteren Tumor im Jejunum, jedoch ausschliesslich die Angiographie ergab drei grosse Tumoren im Duodenum, Jejunum und im Ileum.
