This study presents a rare case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma in a young patient. Surgical management and literature review highlight effective treatment strategies for this uncommon soft tissue sarcoma.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma, representing 2.3%–6.5% of all sarcomas.
  • This tumor can be challenging to diagnose, often being misidentified initially.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma in a young patient.
  • To discuss clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features.
  • To review surgical strategies for cutaneous leiomyosarcoma.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a young patient with a gluteal cutaneous leiomyosarcoma.
  • Review of clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical findings.
  • Comparison with existing literature on diagnosis and management.

Main Results:

  • The tumor, initially misdiagnosed as a keloid, had a two-year history and underwent two prior excisions.
  • Wide surgical excision with primary closure was performed.
  • No recurrence or distant metastasis was observed 26 months post-presentation.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma.
  • Surgical intervention, including wide excision, is a primary treatment modality.
  • Adjuvant therapies and long-term follow-up are essential for managing this rare malignancy.
