Abstrakt: This article from Clinical Case Reports discusses a case of severe gastrointestinal bleeding caused by intermittent ileal intussusception due to a leiomyoma. The patient, a 61-year-old man, presented with anorectal bleeding and was found to have a tumor in the small intestine. The article highlights the importance of distinguishing between benign leiomyomas and malignant leiomyosarcomas for appropriate treatment decisions. The patient underwent surgery, recovered well, and histopathological analysis confirmed a leiomyoma. The article emphasizes the need for proper diagnostic procedures, such as capsule endoscopy and imaging modalities, to identify and treat gastrointestinal issues effectively.
