Not Just Another Adenomatous Polyp: A Case of Colonic Leiomyoma
Leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumors containing eosinophilic spindle cells with indistinct cytoplasmic borders. Colonic leiomyomas are benign and can be successfully resected endoscopically without any complications such as bleeding or perforation.
Case Series of an Uncommon Colon Polyp - Leiomyoma: 491 : …
They arise from the muscularis mucosa/propia, or the vascular smooth muscle and are submucosal. Diagnosis is made on histology as endoscopically they might be indistinguishable from adenomas. Wide surgical excision of the neoplasm is recommended.
An Asymptomatic Patient with Colonic Leiomyoma - PMC

Leiomyoma in the Transverse Colon With Resection - PMC
The biopsy showed a submucosal microscopic leiomyoma in the transverse colon. The treatment of choice for most colonic leiomyomas is surgical excision.
