Three cases of leiomyosarcomas of the small bowel, two localized in the jejunum and one in the ileum are reported. In the light of reported data, stress is laid on the anatomicopathological aspects and it is pointed out that the symptomatology is not specific and is comparable to that characterising the other neoplasms of the small bowel. The usefulness of the various diagnostic investigations are analysed and it is maintained that surgery plays a primary role in the treatment of such neoformations. It is maintained, finally, that further studies are needed to pinpoint the factors that may be correlated with the prognosis.
