Rare Occurrence of an Epithelioid Leiomyosarcoma in a Uterine Leiomyoma

Leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is a malignant tumor arising from the smooth muscle of the uterus. It is a rare tumor with an incidence as low as 2%-5% of all uterine malignancies. Besides the conventional type, one of the important variants includes the epithelioid leiomyosarcoma which is by itself a rare subtype of leiomyosarcoma. The precise diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma is essential since it has an aggressive behaviour. We present a rare case of Leiomyosarcoma of the epithelioid variant arising in a leiomyoma.
