Abstract:
Adequate treatment of primary leiomyosarcoma of bone requires surgical ablation with the goals being those for any malignant tumor of bone--eradication of the lesion and preservation of as much function as possible. Careful preoperative staging will determine whether amputation is necessary or whether successful limb-saving resection is possible.
