AB Jejunal leiomyosarcoma is a rare neoplasm. We report a case of gigantic leiomyosarcoma of the jejunum in a 30-year old man who presented with abdominal distension, pain and constipation. Computerized tomography scan revealed a giant tumor filling the entire abdominal cavity. Fine needle aspiration cytology was suspicious. At laparotomy, a huge jejunal leiomyosarcoma measuring 30 x 25 x 19 cm and weighing 13 kg was completely excised. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a giant jejunal leiomyosarcoma.
