Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant smooth-muscle tumour that has a predilection for the gastrointestinal and female genital tract. It is locally fast-spreading and highly aggressive, and the prognosis is poor. We report a rare case of leiomyosarcoma of the maxilla in a patient who sought treatment for maxillary swelling, nasal obstruction with no epistaxis, orbital involvement or cervical lymph node metastasis. The patient underwent subtotal maxillectomy followed by radiotherapy. At present, he is symptom free with no recurrence and under regular follow up.
Uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is rare but primary ovarian LMS is even rarer constituting less than 0.1% of all gynecologic disorders. Neither histologic features nor immunohistochemistry could be utilized to distinguish between uterine or ovarian origin. We illustrate a clinical case of metastatic LMS to the ovary in a woman with underlying uterine fibroid presenting with anemia with heavy menses.
