| Core Tip |
Sarcomas comprise only 1%-2% of all primary liver malignancies, and leiomyosarcoma is even rarer. We report a rare case of primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma accidentally diagnosed and surgically treated. The diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion because the clinical scenario and cross-imaging are not specific. Thus, histological examination is the only way to reach the diagnosis. In our case, the tumor probably originated from the left branch of the portal vein or the round ligament. Radical hepatectomy is the cornerstone of treatment. However, this tumor has aggressive metastatic potential and is usually diagnosed in locally advanced or metastatic disease. Two years after surgical resection, our patient is alive and with no evidence of tumor recurrence, likely because the diagnosis was established at an early stage and the surgery achieved a tumor-free margin. |
