Abstract:
A patient with a rare leiomyosarcoma of the diaphragm was encountered. A 74-year-old woman was admitted complaining of left shoulder pain and hypochondralgia. A mass was found on the left side of the diaphragm on imaging studies. Laparoscopic biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was established histopathologically. To improve her complaint, removal of the mass was attempted, which resulted in compromise resection.
