Abstract

Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor which do not arise from the leiomyoma. Leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare form of cancer and accounts for 5–10% of soft tissue sarcomas,  which are in themselves relatively rare. This case report shows unusual presentation of the multofocal leiomyosarcoma along with diagnostic dilemma. The prognosis and treatment modality are also discussed in the discussion.
