Description
Leiomyosarcoma of the broad ligament is a rare tumor, with only 16 cases. In this paperwe examine the case of a 52-year-old women consulted for pelvic pain. Clinical examination revealed a solid mass on the right side of the uterus. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan confirmed a mass presumably ovarian in origin. Laparotomy found a tumor of the right broad ligament, independent from uterus, tubes and ovaries. A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy was performed and the histologic examination led to the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma of the broad ligament. No evidence ofmetastasis is noted after 42 months' follow-up.
