Abstract
Colonic Leiomyoma is a rare condition. Smooth muscle tumors arising from the colon constitute only 3% of gastrointestinal leiomyomas1 and about 1% of all Gastro intestinal neoplasms. We report a patient with a 7 mm Leiomyoma of the recto-sigmoid junction that was successfully removed by conventional colonoscopic snare polypectomy, without complications. We believe that to be the first reported case of Leiomyoma of the recto-sigmoid junction in an adult. Leiomyomas though rare should be considered as a differential diagnosis on encountering a polyp on routine endoscopic examinations.
