A case of multiple leiomyoma of the small intestine, which has rarely been reported in Japan, was observed. Generally, it is difficult to make a correct preoperative diagnosis of small intestinal tumor, but in this case Computed Tomography, echography and angiography was diagnostic. We could not resect all tumors. Now we follow up the behavior of the tumors, because frequently histological examination cannot determine the grade of malignancy.

Key words
