Leiomyoma of the rectum

  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Conclusions

1. Leiomyoma does occur in the rectum.

2. A case is reported which substantiates the findings of the Lahey Clinic with respect to the fact that a tumor may be contained wholly within the body of a polyp, and not invade its base.

3. The immediate removal of any and all rectal polyps appears clearly indicated as a therapeutic and or prophylactic measure.
