Abstract
- Retroperitoneal tumors are account for fewer than 0.2 % of total malignancies. Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma of these are rare and show a tendency toward large size and extensions by infiltration to the adjacent structure. Thus, the most frequent symptoms are palpable abdominal mass and abdominal pain. Early detection and treatment is difficult in retroperitoneal tumor. Aggressive radical surgical excision is treatment of choice. Modern therapeutic modalilty improve the prognosis, but still remained debatable prognosis. we report a case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in 54-year-old women who was recieved chemotherapy and then surgical removal.
