Association of distal ileal atresia with leiomyoma is a quite rare condition. Herein, we describe a newborn who underwent surgery for ileal atresia and was found to have leiomyoma on pathological examination in the atretic segment. The presence of leiomyoma may indicate a malformation during recanalization and could play a role in the etiology of intestinal atresia. Thus, some cases of atresia may be due to tumor (leiomyoma) in the bowel wall.
回肠远端闭锁合并平滑肌瘤是一种相当罕见的情况。本文报道了一例新生儿,因回肠闭锁接受手术,术中发现闭锁段存在平滑肌瘤。平滑肌瘤的存在可能提示再通过程中的畸形,并可能在肠闭锁的病因中起作用。因此,部分闭锁病例可能是由于肠壁肿瘤(平滑肌瘤)引起。
