Small bowel metastasis from primary bone leiomyosarcoma is very rare. Here we report on a 50-year-old man who presented with general weakness, weight loss (six kg in two months) and intermittent tarry stools for two months. He had undergone an above-knee amputation for left tibia leiomyosarcoma seven years previously. No local recurrence and/or distant metastasis developed during a seven-year p...

Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare tumor accounts for about 2-3% of superficial soft tissue sarcomas. It occurs more frequently in males in fifth and sixth decades with a predilection for extremities. We report a 27 years old male with cutaneous leiomyosarcoma of thigh, previously diagnosed as pleomorphicfibroma. The tumor composed of pleomorphic spindle shaped cells with blunt ended...

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumour that accounts for 0.5% oesophageal sarcomas. The most common presenting symptom is dysphagia. This report presents a case of oesophageal leiomyosarcoma in a 56-year-old Caucasian man found incidentally while being investigated for refractory cough. There was no history of dysphagia in spite of tumour mass occupying most of the oesophageal lumen. The leiomyosarcom...

Tumors of the smooth muscles are rarely seen, as the number of smooth muscles is low within the intraoral region. Leiomyosarcoma is a type of malign tumor originating from smooth muscles. The most common regions of leiomyosarcoma of the oral cavity are the maxilla and mandible. In this article, we present a leiomyosarcoma detected in a 20-year-old male patient who was admitted to the clinic wit...

Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas are rare sarcomas, with an incidence of less than 2 per million population. Cutaneous metastases from sarcoma account for only 1-2.6% of metastatic skin lesions. Cutaneous and subcutaneous metastasis from retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is a very rare entity. We present a case of 72-year-old male with scalp nodule and subcutaneous swelling in left posterior axilla...

BACKGROUND Intravascular leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumour entity originating from venous vessel structures and most frequently affecting the inferior vena cava. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year old patient presented with a biopsy proven leiomyosarcoma of the right supraclavicular region. Tumour resection and histological assessment verified the intravascular tumour origin arising from the internal ...

Paratesticular leiomyosarcomas are rare and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, if inadequately diagnosed or treated. We present a case of paratesticular leiomyosarcoma in an 88-year-old man presenting with a left scrotal mass with ultrasound revealing that the mass is extratesticular. Left radical orchidectomy was performed and pathological examination of the resected specimen con...

Leiomyosarcoma in soft tissue has only been reported in humans or animals. We performed pathological examination of a 3-years-old male squirrel monkey which had a large mass in the right axilla. The mass in the right axilla was surgically resected but it soon reoccurred. This tumor was diagnosed as a leiomyosarcoma based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry using the expression of alpha-s...

Leiomyosarcoma of the scrotum is a rare genital malignancy with approximately 35 reported cases in literature. We present a case of leiomyosarcoma of the scrotum in a 71-year-old man appearing as a sebaceous cyst that later developed ulcerations. However, because the irregular mass developed ulcerations, this should trigger one to consider that lesion is potentially malignant. The pathology rep...

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor of the smooth muscle, but relatively frequent in the stomach and the small intestine. The mesocolic site is rare. Globally, leiomyosarcoma represents less than 0, 1% of the malignant tumors found in the colon and the anus. Because of the similarities with other digestive tumors, namely mesenchymatous or benign tumors of the smooth muscle, the diagnosis of a pleomo...
