This case report details a rare retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in an elderly woman. Surgical resection was successful, highlighting the importance of follow-up for this uncommon abdominal neoplasm.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignancy.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • An 80-year-old woman presented with respiratory symptoms and right abdominal pain due to a large, asymmetric retroperitoneal neoplasm.
  • Computed tomography (CT) revealed the retroperitoneal mass displacing intra-abdominal organs.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.
  • Surgical "en bloc" resection of the plurilobed, capsulated neoplasm was performed.

Implications:

  • Surgery remains the primary treatment for retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma.

  • Advanced imaging improves surgical planning and radical resection.
  • Regular follow-up is essential due to the potential for local recurrence, necessitating re-staging and potential re-excision.
