Résumé
Les léiomyomes du grêle sont des tumeurs bénignes dont le développement peut être intraluminal, pariétal ou extraluminal. L’âge de survenue se situe autour de la cinquantaine sans prédominance de sexe, mais peut survenir à tout âge. Le diagnostic est tardif en raison d’une symptomatologie vague se révélant le plus souvent par une hémorragie digestive, une occlusion intestinale ou une masse abdominale. L’immunohistochimie permet de poser le diagnostic par la positivité des marqueurs CD117. Le traitement est chirurgical, reposant sur l’exérèse de la tumeur. Il s’agit de l’observation d’un patient de 25 ans qui présente un léiomyome de l’iléon terminal avec une description clinique, diagnostique, anatomopathologique et thérapeutique. Le diagnostic difficile et la rareté des léiomyomes du grêle ont motivé ce cas clinique.
Abstract
Small bowel leiomyomas are benign tumors that can develop inside or outside the lumen. The development could also be parietal. The age of predilection for their occurrence is about the fifties, irrespective of gender; however, they could occur at all ages. The diagnosis is late, due to the vague clinical manifestations which, very often, include digestive hemorrhage, intestinal occlusion or an abdominal mass. The diagnosis could be done through immunehistochemistry analysis by the positivity of CD117 markers. Treatment is surgical: through the excision of the tumor. This study is about a 25-year-old patient presenting with ileum leiomyoma, the clinical description, the diagnostics, the therapeutics and the anatomic and pathologic description. The motivation for this work was based on the rarity and the difficultly in diagnosis of leiomyomas.
