[Bleeding duodenal leiomyoma with secondary pseudodiverticulum].

A personal case of bleeding leiomyoma with secondary pseudo-diverticulum is presented. Attention is drawn to the comparative rarity of this form in the world literature and the marked difficulty raised by its diagnosis, especially if its frequent complications are absent. When such complications are present, it is felt that simple resection should give way to more radical management, such as d.gastric resection with gastrojejunal anastomosis.
