A rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and intussusception in a patient with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), formerly known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a soft tissue sarcoma, derived from mesenchymal cells.It is a rare tumor with incidence of 1-2 per 100 000, developing usually in 6 th to 8 th decade of life.UPS is typically localized in deep muscles of the limbs (70% of cases) and retroperitoneal space (15%) [1,2].However, in rare cases it can be localized in intestines.
