Abstract

We report a rare case of peritonitis caused by perforation of smooth muscle tumor of the jejunum. In spite of having all the reported presenting symptoms of these tumors, the diagnosis was not made preoperatively. Although histopathologically diagnosis was that of a benign tumor, the subsequent course was rapid and malignant. A complete review of the literature is presented.
