  • Title: Primary jejunal leiomyosarcoma mimicking a gynecologic tumor.
    Author: Long CY, Lee YM, Tsai KB, Su JH, Hsu SC.
    Journal: Gynecol Obstet Invest; 2002; 54(3):180-2. PubMed ID: 12571443.
    Abstract:
    Alimentary leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is not uncommon; however, LMS which metastasizes to the ovary and uterine serosa is extremely rare. We present a case diagnosed as LMS due to the negative finding on the CD117 stain, which is the most specific criterion for the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor and LMS. Despite the daunting reoperation which was performed within a short interval in this case, the patient made a rapid recovery from both procedures.
