- Abstract
- Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft-tissue tumor of smooth muscle derivation that accounts for 2%-3% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Cutaneous leiomyosarcomas can be subdivided into dermal and subcutaneous leiomyosarcomas. Because of the different prognosis, it is important to distinguish between dermal and subcutaneous forms. Immunohistochemical stains, such as vimentin, smooth muscle actin (SMA), desmin, CD68, CD34, and S-100, may aid in the recognition of smooth muscle derivation and in the differentiation from other malignant spindle cell tumors. We report a case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma on the extensor surface of the left thigh in a 61-year-old man.
