Local recurrence and multi-organ metastasis of primary retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in unusual locations after surgical resection.

چکیده
We report a case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in a 52-year-old woman, who developed local recurrence, pulmonary, hepatic, peritoneal, pancreatic, subcutaneous and intramuscular metastases two years after surgical resection of the primary tumor. Metastasis to the pancreas, subcutaneous or muscular tissue is very rare; however, presence of a lesion in these locations in a known case of leiomyosarcoma might indicate a metastatic tumor deposit.
