Abstract
- Leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare, soft tissue sarcoma, derived from smooth muscle. Superficial or cutaneous leiomyosarcomas, which are rare and account for less than 3% of the cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma, are subdivided into two groups. according to the development site: a dermal form and a subcutaneous form. Although cutaneous leiomyosarcoma may occur anywhere on the body, there is a predilection for the extremities, especially the thighs. However, leiomyosarcoma of the sole is exceedingly rare. We present a case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma on the sole.
