ABSTRACT

Primary solid tumors generally have a mesenchymal origin. Among them, those derived from the smooth muscle prevail, which is a subject of great interest because of its rarity and diagnostic difficulty. The case of a 50-year-old woman suffering from discomfort in the right flank with a noticeable increase in volume for some months that was already causing her pain is presented. The physical examination revealed a giant abdominal tumor occupying the entire right flank and projecting into the mesogastrium. Imaging studies including an abdominal computed tomography with contrast were performed. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy with a preoperative diagnosis of abdominal tumor. Tumor excision and histologic examination were carried out, confirming the presence of a leiomyosarcoma of the mesentery. Chemotherapy was administered and the clinical outcome was favorable. The aim of this presentation is to inform the medical community of this case due to the scarce reports in the literature.
