Intestinal leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor in infants and children; only 46 cases have been reported in the English literature. Presenting signs and symptoms include abdominal pain and gastrointestinal obstruction and bleeding. We describe a neonate with the unique presentation of ileocecal intussusception accompanying an ileal leiomyosarcoma. In contrast to adult patients, where intussusception is associated with smooth muscle tumors in 30% of cases, leiomyosarcoma and subsequent intussusception is rare in infancy and childhood. The overall prognosis for long-term survival is similar for both pediatric and adult patients with leiomyosarcoma of the intestinal tract, with a five-year survival in reported cases of 53% and 40%, respectively.
