Article Synopsis
- Superficial leiomyosarcomas (SLMSs) are rare skin tumors that present as nodules, and a review of 25 cases revealed that they can involve both the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
- Histological analysis showed that all cases tested positive for smooth muscle markers, but CD117 was consistently negative; notable features included epidermal hyperplasia and unique collagen patterns.
- Poor prognostic factors were identified, including tumor size over 2 cm, high grade, and greater depth, indicating the need for careful diagnosis to avoid misclassification as benign.
