Abstract
Gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma is a rare neoplasm, the stomach being the most frequent site of settlement, followed by the small intestine (ileum). Only 3% of cases affect the colon. In the latter case, a differential diagnosis would have to be made, fundamentally with colon adenocarcinoma. Its diagnosis is histological with the need for immunohistochemistry, and its curative treatment consists of surgery, with chemo and radiotherapy having shown little benefit. Its prognosis is poor, since recurrence after surgery and hematogenous dissemination are frequent.
