This neoplasm can develop in various places around the body, including but not limited to the uterus, retroperitoneum, colon, blood vessels, and bladder. This case report details the discovery of a cecal leiomyosarcoma in a patient who presented to the emergency department after a year of abdominal pain, fatigue, and unexpected weight loss. The report will discuss the available literature on leiomyosarcoma, the surgical approach for management in this patient, and post-operative management.
