A Case of Cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma on the Face / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare soft tissue sarcoma of smooth muscle derivation. Superficial or cutaneous leiomyosarcomas, which are very rare and account for less than 3% of the cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma, are subdivided into two groups; a dermal form and a subcutaneous form. Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma may occur anywhere on the body, but there is a predilection for the extremities, especially the thighs. However, leiomyosarcoma of the face is exceedingly rare. We present a case of cutaneous dermal leiomyosarcoma on the face.
