Reported is a leiomyosarcoma of jejunum that was found in a 61-year-old man who was admitted to our clinic because of an abdominal distension. A CT scan and an ultrasonic examination revealed a giant tumor with a central necrosis in the abdominal cavity. A study of barium that was ingested revealed an elevated lesion without a fistel formation in the jejunum about 25 cm distant from the Treitz ligament. An ultrasonic the guided percutaneous biopsy was done and pathological diagnosis indicated a leiomyosaroma. Surgery was performed on June 16 1989 and the tumor weighing 4,934 g and 30 x 25 x 18 cm in size, was completely resected.
