Leiomyosarcomas are uncommon malignant neoplasms that rarely arise in the extremities. We report on the clinical characteristics of 17 cases seen at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center over a 32 year period. Most neoplasms occurred in the lower extremities, and most of the tumors recurred after surgery alone, with several late recurrences. The overall prognosis was grim, with a median survival of 24 months. More aggressive multidisciplinary approaches to this disease are warranted.
平滑肌肉瘤是罕见的恶性肿瘤，很少发生于四肢。我们报告了纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心在32年期间所见的17例患者的临床特征。大多数肿瘤发生于下肢，且大多数肿瘤仅在手术后复发，有几例出现晚期复发。总体预后不佳，中位生存期为24个月。对于这种疾病，有必要采取更积极的多学科治疗方法。
