| dc.description.abstract | Introduction
Greater omentum leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors with only a few cases reported in literature.
Presentation of case
We report the case of a 68-year-old man who consulted complaining of diffuse abdominal pain without a palpable mass at physical examination. Imaging studies revealed a solid-cystic lesion in the right lower quadrant. Surgical resection was performed and the tumor was diagnosed as a leiomyoscarcoma by histological and immunohistochemical examinations.
Discussion
Surgical resection of all lesions seems to be a reasonable therapeutic approach if resection is feasible. Chemotherapy may be used in selected cases.
Conclusion
More cases are needed to define the best treatment approach of this disease. | |
