RETROPERITONEAL LEIOMYOSARCOMA: RARE CLINICAL AND A LITERATURE REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors that may arise from any smooth muscle source. They represent 19% of all soft tissue sarcomas arising in the retroperitoneum. Two - third to three - fourths of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma occur in women and develope in the fifth to seventh decade. Retroperitoneal tumors typically have vague presenting symptoms. Treatment of this rare neoplasm is complicated by the large size of the tumor at diagnosis and frequent presence of metastases; therefore, prognosis is poor. We report a giant retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma and review of literature.
