평활근육종은 주로 사지와 몸통에 주로 발생하며, 악하선의 원발성 평활근육종은 매우 드물다. 악하선의 원발성 평활근육종은 증상과 방사선 검사 모두에서 비특이적이며, 치료는 광범위 절제술이다. 최근 저자들은 악하선에 발생한 원발성 평활근육종을 광범위 적출술을 시행한 후에 술후 방사선 치료를 시행하여 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 악하선의 평활근육종은 드물지만, 방사선 검사에서 경계가 분명하고 조영 증강이 잘되며, 세침흡입검사에서 방추세포가 발견될 경우에 감별 진단으로 고려해야 한다.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that originates from smooth muscle cells. It is commonly found in the uterus but can occur throughout the body, including the retroperitoneal space, abdominal cavity, and any vascular structure. Although there are many case reports of uterine or vascular LMS metastasizing to the heart, cardiac metastasis from nonvisceral lesions has only been reported in two cases. Herein we report a rare case of a patient presenting metastatic LMS from the left flank in the right ventricle observed with echocardiography and enhanced computed tomography.

Leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma of mesenchymal cell origin, which shows smooth muscle differentiation. Leiomyosarcoma is seldom found in the pediatric population, and accounts for fewer than 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Leiomyosarcoma of the chest wall is extremely rare in children. We report here a case of an 8-year-old boy with a primary leiomyosarcoma that was incidentally found as a rib mass. The patient underwent a complete resection for a suspected osteochondroma diagnosed by a three-dimensional chest computed tomography examination. Pathological findings of the mass revealed intersecting fascicles of spindle cells showing cigar-shaped nuclei, inconspicuous nuclear pleomorphism and occasional mitotic figures in the background of a suspected osteochondroma of the rib. This report documents the first description of a leiomyosarcoma possibly arising in an osteochondroma of the rib in a child.

Primary endobronchial leiomyosarcoma is a very uncommon tumor and its diagnosis by spontaneous expectoration of tumor fragment has never been reported in the literature. We report a patient with primary endobronchial leiomyosarcoma that was diagnosed by spontaneous expectoration of partial tumor tissue. The expectorated tissue was found to be pathologically consistent with leiomyosarcoma. Right lower lobectomy and all lymph node dissections were performed during the operation. Pathologic examination showed that the tumor was histologically identical to the patient's previous expectorated tissue and was confined to the bronchus and did not invade the adjacent pulmonary parenchyma and lymph nodes.

The most common malignant tumors in the colon are adenocarcinomas, while leiomyosarcoma (LMS) are rare. Here, we report a case of LMS of the sigmoid colon in a 73-year-old man who presented with sigmoido-rectal intussusception, which was discovered by abdominal computed tomography. As LMS of the colon is uncommon and is rarely associated with intussusception, we have described the imaging features in this case report.

An unusual case of primary leiomyosarcoma at the left lower posterior chest wall with metastasis to the right lung parenchyme is presented. The patient was a 43-year-old man who was asymptomatic but a slow growing hard mass was noted at the left lower posterior chest wall. The chest computed tomography showed a tumor at the left lower posterior chest wall with multiple metastasis to the right lung. The left lower posterior chest wall mass was examined by percutaneous needle aspiration and it was revealed as rhabdomyosarcoma histologically. En bloc resection to the left lower posterior chest wall tumor and metastasectomy to the multiple nodules in the right lung were done and pathological examination finally revealed primary leiomyosarcoma at the left lower posterior chest wall with multiple metastasis to the right lung. Chemotherapy was scheduled as adjunctive measure.

Primary leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor. We exprienced a case of 46-year-old man with a mass located in the left upper lobe bronchus which was discovered on a chest CT. Cytology of the sputum and bronchoscopic biopses did not reveal any malignant cells. The patient underwent a left sleeve upper lobectomy. The tumor was growing from the left upper lobe bronchus and had partially destroyed the lung parenchyme. The pathologic feature of the tumor was composed of fascicular arrayed cellular spindle cells with blunt-ended nuclei revealed mild to moderate pleomorphism and frequent mitoses (15/10HPF). The immunohistochemical staining was revealed positive reaction for antibody to smooth muscle actin and desmin. We conclude that the tumor is leiomyosarcoma of the lung and then report with a review of the literatures.

Benign tumor of the esophagus is much rare than malignant tumor. The leiomyoma of the esophagus arises from the smooth muscle of the esophagus and may appear in any part of the esophagus, but the lower third is the commonest site. The tumor is usually asymptomatic during life or symptom appears late in it's growth. The authors experienced a case of leiomyoma of the esophagus confirmed by radiological and pathological examination with unevenful pastoperatove course. We report this case with literature review.

The metastasis of uterine leiornyosarcorna to the neck node has not been reported previously and the radiotherapy has been rarely used for the metastatic lesion of the other sites. We report a case of neck metastasis from a uterine leiornyosarcorna, which developed 10 months after surgery and postoperative pelvic radiotherapy. It also involved the parapharyngeal space, adjacent spine, and spinal canal. The metastatic neck mass was inoperable, and was treated by neck radiotherapy (6,000 cGy) and chemotherapy including taxol and carboplatin. The mass has regressed progressively to a nearly impalpable state. She has never developed spinal cord compression syndrome, and has maintained good swallowing for eight months since the neck radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Since the extensive metastatic neck mass showed good local response to high dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy, both treatments may be considered for an unresectable metastatic leiornyosarcorna.

A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for deep vein thrombosis, and he had experienced two episodes of left leg swelling: one happened after an 11 hour-air trip from Europe in June 2007, and the other developed 3 days after an operation for a herniated lumbar disc in July 2007. We treated him for a deep vein thrombosis of the deep femoral vein after admission. However, we arrived at the final diagnosis of angioleiomyosarcoma after the operation for the tentative diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. We removed the firmly engorged deep femoral vein on the second operation. We report here on a case of angioleiomyosarcoma that arose from the deep femoral vein.
