Greater omentum leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors with only a few cases reported in literature.
We report the case of a 68-year-old man who consulted complaining of diffuse abdominal pain without a palpable mass at physical examination. Imaging studies revealed a solid-cystic lesion in the right lower quadrant. Surgical resection was performed and the tumor was diagnosed as a leiomyoscarcoma by histological and immunohistochemical examinations.
Surgical resection of all lesions seems to be a reasonable therapeutic approach if resection is feasible. Chemotherapy may be used in selected cases.
More cases are needed to define the best treatment approach of this disease.
大网膜平滑肌肉瘤是罕见肿瘤,文献中仅报道过少数病例。
我们报告一例68岁男性病例,该患者因弥漫性腹痛前来就诊,体格检查未触及肿块。影像学检查显示右下腹有一实性囊性病变。进行了手术切除,经组织学和免疫组化检查,肿瘤被诊断为平滑肌肉瘤。
如果可行,手术切除所有病变似乎是一种合理的治疗方法。在某些特定病例中可使用化疗。
需要更多病例来确定该疾病的最佳治疗方法。
