Leiomyosarcomas are known to typically originate from smooth muscle cell. Primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor associated with delayed diagnosis and poor prognosis. We report a rare case of leiomyosarcoma arising from the left adrenal gland in a 27-year-old male who presented with left side back ache. It was a solid mass of cms situated superior to the left kidney. Left adrenalectomy was done and microscopic examination revealed a primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma.

Purpose: A single-center retrospective study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive irreversible electroporation (IRE) to treat metastatic adrenal tumors.
Materials And Methods: This single-center study, approved by the Institutional Review Board, retrospectively analyzed six patients who underwent image-guided percutaneous IRE for adrenal metastases. Pre-procedural imaging included CT, MRI and/or F-FDG PET-CT scans.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates abdominal venous leiomyosarcoma (AV-LMS), focusing on its origins from veins associated with the sex-hormone drainage pathway (SHDP).
- A retrospective analysis of imaging from 155 patients with confirmed non-uterine abdominal/pelvic LMS revealed that more than half of the tumors originated from venous structures, particularly those linked to the SHDP, including adrenal and ovarian veins.
- Key findings indicate that tumors from the SHDP are prevalent and may lead to a lower risk of distant metastases at diagnosis, with tumor size and SHDP origin being critical factors in predicting metastasis risk.

Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma (PHL) is a rare malignant tumor, which originates from smooth muscles. The imaging features are nonspecific and the diagnosis is often delayed until the tumor reaches a large size, which leads often to a dismal prognosis. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient who was complaining about abdominal pain for 2 months.

Background And Objectives: Primary adrenal sarcoma (PAS) is an exceedingly rare malignancy with limited data available on its epidemiology, management, and outcomes. This study aimed to characterize the national incidence, treatment patterns, and survival of PAS utilizing a National Cancer Database.
Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients diagnosed with primary adrenal tumors from 2004 to 2019.
