Abstract

The most common malignant tumors in the colon are adenocarcinomas, while leiomyosarcoma (LMS) are rare. Here, we report a case of LMS of the sigmoid colon in a 73-year-old man who presented with sigmoido-rectal intussusception, which was discovered by abdominal computed tomography. As LMS of the colon is uncommon and is rarely associated with intussusception, we have described the imaging features in this case report.

결장에 영향을 미치는 악성 종양은 주로 선암종이며 결장의 평활근육종은 드물다. 저자들은 73세 남자 환자에서 복부 컴퓨터단층촬영상 구불결장-직장 장중첩증과 함께 발견된 구불결장의 평활근육종의 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 결장의 평활근육종은 드물고 장중첩증과 관련되어 보고된 바는 더욱 드물기에, 저자들은 증례 보고와 함께 영상의학적 특징을 기술하였다.
