Abstract
Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma is a rare smooth muscle mesenchymal neoplasm. The primary bone form is the rarest subtype. It mainly affects middle aged and female people. The most common complaint is the presence of a mass accompanied by pain. Diagnostic imaging and biopsy are required. The gold standard treatment is resection with oncologic margin.
Case Report: A 20-year-old female had a history of tumor mass and left hip pain beginning in September 2018.The patient showed the radiographic examination, osteolytic lesion of the left hip, and computed tomography scan of the abdomen with a solid expansive process measuring 15.8 cm left hip destruction and absence of organ damage. Biopsy and immunohistochemical result of leiomyosarcoma. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was not effective. Thus, we opted for tumor resection with internal hemipelvectomy Type I.
Conclusion: Primary bone leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm which only shows tumoral resection with oncological margins as a curative treatment, thus the need for early diagnosis to allow adequate resection and lower patient morbidity.
Keywords: Leiomyosarcoma, case reports, rare diseases, literature review.
