Leiomyosarcoma of the skin: A case report
1982
A middle-aged man presented with an ulcerated nodule of the right posterior thigh that was histologically evaluated as leiomyosarcoma of the skin. A wide excision of the tumor was followed by split-thickness skin grafting. Leiomyosarcomas of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are rare tumors, usually occurring in the proximal lower extremities. The treatment of choice is a wide local excision with a 3- to 5-cm margin including the subcutaneous tissue and fascia. The defect is covered by a split-thickness skin graft.
