title: [A case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma].
abstract: The Authors present a case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma, diagnosed because of the early symptomatic hydronephrosis due to the compression of the tumour on the lumbar ureter. Some general clinical aspects of retroperitoneal sarcomas are discussed too. In the case presented adjuvant therapy was not advised, because of the small volume of the tumour and the possibility of its complete excision.
