Core Tip	Primary hepatic leiomyoma is usually found in adult women and is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. We report the 29th case worldwide in a 48-year-old kidney allograft recipient without EBV infection and extrahepatic tumor. He achieved clinical cure by mass resection. The leiomyoma was positive for α-smooth muscle actin and desmin, and negative for gastrointestinal stromal tumor markers, including CD117, CD34 and DOG1 (discovered on gastrointestinal stromal tumor 1). The tumor was negative for EBV-encoded small RNA. The data indicate that EBV infection is important but neither necessary nor sufficient for development of primary liver leiomyoma.
