Coming soonLeiomyosarcoma is an aggressive, rare soft tissue sarcoma arising from smooth muscle cells or their mesenchymal precursors, accounting for approximately 10% to 20% of all soft tissue sarcomas.
It occurs predominantly in adults, with the most frequent anatomical sites being the uterus, retroperitoneum, intra-abdominal viscera, large blood vessels, and somatic soft tissues of the extremities.
Histopathologically, the malignancy is characterized by intersecting fascicles of spindled cells exhibiting marked nuclear atypia, pleomorphism, brisk mitotic activity, and coagulative tumor cell necrosis.
Because of its invasive biology, it frequently manifests as a rapidly enlarging mass and carries a high propensity for hematogenous dissemination, most commonly metastasizing to the lungs and liver.
