Overview
The authors describe a case of a very rare malignant mesenchymal tumor – cutaneous leiomyosarcoma. Clinically, it was a bland, benign looking lesion on the calf, manifested in men aged 62 years. After excision of the lesion the diagnosis was established by histological and immunohistochemical examination with desmin and alpha-SMA positivity. The authors provide an overview of current knowledge on the disease.
Key words:
