Epithelioid leiomyosarcoma: An unusual presentation.

Uterine mesenchymal tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that can be diagnostically challenging. Thorough investigations and histopathological findings are highly significant to arrive at the correct diagnosis, thus ensuring appropriate and prompt treatment to the patient. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an uncommon uterine malignancy, which arises from the smooth muscle of the uterine wall. They usually present in postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. It follows an aggressive clinical course with an extremely poor prognosis. Surgical management followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is usually the treatment for such cases. Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old menopausal female who presented with a large abdominal swelling that was seen infiltrating the adjacent structures. On resection and histopathological evaluation, a diagnosis of epithelioid LMS was made, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
