Core Tip	Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma (PHL) is a rare malignant tumor and has non-specific clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations, and patients have a poor prognosis. Our patient was characterized by fever and a thick-walled cystic lesion, leading to our primary diagnosis of liver abscess. When a computed tomography scan shows the presence of a thick wall and rich blood supply in the hepatic lesion with a large proportion of uneven low-density areas, the possibility of PHL should be considered. Magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy can provide the assessment and diagnosis. If conditions allow, early radical surgery is the most effective treatment. In-depth studies are needed to find effective treatments for unresectable PHL.
