Leiomyosarcoma of the duodenum is a rare tumor. These tumors manifest with unexplained melena, anemia and sometimes partial duodenal obstruction. Diagnosis is difficult on account of inaccessibility for biopsy. Treatment involves excision of the duodenum with reconstruction, a difficult task with high morbidity and mortality. However, if the tumor is successfully treated, its prognosis is usually good because of its non-aggressive nature.
十二指肠平滑肌肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤。这些肿瘤表现为不明原因的黑便、贫血，有时还会出现部分十二指肠梗阻。由于难以进行活检，诊断较为困难。治疗包括十二指肠切除及重建，这是一项艰巨的任务，具有较高的发病率和死亡率。然而，如果肿瘤得到成功治疗，因其侵袭性不强，其预后通常较好。
