A rare primary cerebral leiomyosarcoma in an 8-year-old boy presented as a seizure disorder. The patient survived after surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy for the extra-axial brain tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric oncology
  • Surgical pathology

Background:

  • Primary cerebral leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare extra-axial brain tumor.
  • This neoplasm typically affects adults, making pediatric cases exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old male presented with new-onset seizures.
  • Radiological imaging revealed a rapidly expanding extra-axial lesion in the left parietal lobe.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent surgical resection of the leiomyosarcoma.
  • Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were administered post-operatively.
  • The patient remains alive with a stable neurological condition.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in pediatric central nervous system lesions.

  • Successful management involved a multimodal approach including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
  • Further research into the etiology and optimal treatment of pediatric cerebral leiomyosarcoma is warranted.
