Abstract:
Leiomyosarcoma of the mesentery is a rare neoplasm. The clinical manifestation is non-specific and preoperative diagnosis is often late. Mitotic activity shows no significant correlation with the biological behavior of neoplasm. The surgical excision is the therapy of choice but local recurrence is high. The authors report a case of leiomyosarcoma which was treated by surgical removal and underline the diagnostic difficulties.
