This case study describes a rare primary leiomyosarcoma in the femur, highlighting its unique imaging characteristics. The findings emphasize the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing bone tumors like leiomyosarcoma.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Primary leiomyosarcoma of the bone is a rare malignant tumor.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on characteristic imaging findings, often challenging due to subtle presentations.

Observation:

  • A case of primary leiomyosarcoma in the right femoral diaphysis is presented.
  • Radiography showed an indistinct osteolytic lesion with minimal periosteal reaction.
  • MRI revealed an intramedullary lesion with cortical breakthrough and soft tissue extension.

Findings:

  • The lesion exhibited specific signal intensities on T1 and T2-weighted MRI sequences.
  • Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI with fat saturation demonstrated a unique peripheral rim and intratumoral spoke-wheel-like enhancement pattern in the soft tissue component.

  • This enhancement pattern, previously undescribed in femoral leiomyosarcoma, aligns with patterns seen in leiomyosarcomas in other locations.

    • Implications:

    • The described MRI enhancement pattern may aid in the diagnosis of femoral leiomyosarcoma.
    • Further pathological correlation is warranted to fully understand this imaging finding.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare bone tumor imaging.
