Intraoperatively, a perforated 2 x 3 cm sized spherical tumorous structure of the jejunum could be detected (Figure 2).
Histopathology revealed circumferential spindle cell proliferation involving mainly the submucosa and muscularis propria (a); the tumor consisted of spindle cells with tapering nuclei and indistinctive eosinophilic cytoplasm (b); immunohistochemistry showed focal positivity of tumor cells for SMA (c).
