Cytogenetic studies were carried out on a low-grade metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma and on a large degenerating uterine leiomyoma. The leiomyosarcoma and leiomyoma were hyperdiploid and hypodiploid, respectively, and both tumors contained multiple consistent chromosome aberrations. In the patient with leiomyosarcoma, flow cytometric studies of proliferative foci from a previously resected ute...

Primary hepatic leiomyoma (PHL) is a rare entity, with very few cases reported in the literature. Even more rarely, until now practically undescribed, transformation of into leiomyosarcoma pancreatic metastases. Here, we report single case progression PHL primary leiomyosarcoma, clinical–surgical and histopathological features, conducted review literature related that can be found.

A modified radical mastectomy was performed. Immunohistochemical analysis subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. After a follow-up period of 24 months, the patient is still in good health ...

A case of primary carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with a primary retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is presented. Due to the lack of early symptoms, diagnosis of the retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma was late and therefore the prognosis was poor. Twelve months after diagnosis the patient died not of the bladder tumor, but of the recurrent leiomyosarcoma.

In this report, we describe the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with a large leiomyosarcoma of the posterior mediastinum that extended into the adjacent spinal canal. The tumor was completely resected from the mediastinum, but only subtotall...
