  • Gross examination revealed a smooth, white-gray, dense mass with a whirled appearance on cut section.
  • Microscopic examination showed a spindle cell tumor with fascicular architecture.

Findings:

  • The morphological features were characteristic of leiomyosarcoma.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via surgical biopsy using routine histological techniques.

Implications:
