Abstract:
A 44-year-old woman complaining of thoracic back pain was found to have a large mediastinal leiomyosarcoma. This was completely excised. No adjuvant treatment was given. Follow-up after 24 months showed no evidence of disease. For these rare tumours surgery offers the best treatment, although local recurrence and metastases do occur.
