[Leiomyoma of Meckel's diverticulum revealed by a digestive hemorrhage. Preoperative diagnosis by selective arteriography].

The authors report a case revealed by low digestive hemorrhage, and in the light of cases in the literature, discuss the various problems due to leiomyomas in Meckel's diverticulum. They emphasize particularly the risk of late diagnosis at the stage of leiomyosarcoma. As it is impossible to say afterwards whether a muscular tumour of the digestive tract is benign or not, it is important to make an early diagnosis. Arteriography is one of the best means.
