Rectal leiomyosarcoma is rare in adults, with anal leiomyosarcoma being even rarer. This study details rare cases of anal and perineal leiomyosarcomas, including those arising after rectal leiomyoma surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Leiomyosarcomas are rare soft tissue tumors originating from smooth muscle.
  • Rectal and anal leiomyosarcomas are exceptionally uncommon subtypes.
  • Understanding their clinical behavior is crucial due to their rarity.

Observation:

  • The study presents a case of anal leiomyosarcoma.
  • It also describes a patient with a biphasic history and three perineal leiomyosarcomas following rectal leiomyoma resection.
  • These cases highlight unusual presentations of leiomyosarcoma.

Findings:

  • Anal leiomyosarcoma is exceedingly rare.
  • Perineal leiomyosarcomas can occur after surgical treatment of rectal leiomyomas.
  • A literature review was conducted to characterize these rare tumors.

Implications:

  • This case series expands the understanding of rare leiomyosarcoma presentations.
  • It emphasizes the importance of vigilance for potential malignant transformation or recurrence.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of these rare tumors is warranted.
