On the other hand metastasis of leiomyosarcoma to the abdominal wall is very rare and there is no any report of leiomyosarcoma of broad ligament with more than 33 months fallow up and metastasis to the abdominal wall [2].

It seems that the tumor’s grade has worsened by time.metastatic tumor became worst with timing.
