Primary mediastinal leiomyosarcomas are rare cancers originating in the chest. This case highlights a unique histological presentation of this malignant sarcoma in a 66-year-old woman, causing a mediastinal emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary mediastinal leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant sarcomas.
  • Their etiology is unknown, and they do not originate from the smooth muscle of adjacent organs.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old woman presented with a leiomyosarcoma.
  • The tumor was located in the medium and posterior mediastinum.
  • The clinical presentation was that of a mediastinal emergency.

Findings:

  • The case presents a unique histological subtype of mediastinal leiomyosarcoma.
  • Despite clinically unspecific symptoms, the histology is distinct.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited literature on primary mediastinal leiomyosarcomas.
