Abstract
- A case study of intraperitoneal rupture of an urachal leiomyosarcoma that presented as hemorrhagic shock in a 21-year-old woman after experiencing blunt abdominal trauma is discussed. Topics include the diagnosis of her weakness and abdominal pain, a urachal tumor's site of origin, and the classification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The article suggests long-term diagnostic imaging to detect recurrence of urachal leiomyosarcoma after surgery.
