Leiomyosarcoma of the Left Femur: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas of the limbs are rare tumors with a poor prognosis. Their diagnosis is difficult and its histological confirmation. Surgery represents the main therapeutic weapon while radiotherapy allows better local control. Chemotherapy is reserved for high-grade tumors with high metastatic potential. Our work is based on a study of a rare case of metastatic leimyosarcoma of the thigh in a 49-year-old patient.
