This case report details a rare instance of multiple extremity leiomyosarcomas in an elderly veteran. The tumors appeared near old war wound scars, suggesting a link to trauma and aging.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Surgical Pathology
Trauma Surgery

Background:

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
Multiple leiomyosarcomas in the extremities are exceptionally rare.
Previous trauma and aging may influence tumor development.

Observation:

A 90-year-old male veteran presented with four leiomyosarcomas.
Tumors were located in the right arm and right thigh.
Neoplasms were situated near scars from severe war-related injuries sustained 60 years prior.

Findings:

The multicentric leiomyosarcomas occurred in the vicinity of old traumatic scars.
A potential etiology involves decreased immune surveillance associated with aging and prior trauma.
Diagnostic methods, surgical interventions, and adjuvant therapies were reviewed.

Implications:

This case highlights the possibility of late-onset sarcoma development following severe trauma.
Understanding the interplay between aging, trauma, and oncogenesis is crucial.
Further research into trauma-induced sarcomagenesis is warranted.
