title: [Abdominopelvic recurrence of leiomyosarcoma. Echographic aspects apropos of 19 cases].
abstract: The recurrence rate after initial surgery of pelvis and abdominal leiomyosarcomas is significant. Quick but silent growth of these tumors requires a regular and frequent follow-up in order to improve the prognosis. Ultrasonography is the simplest way for such a follow-up. We present our experience about 23 operated cases of leiomyosarcomas followed by ultrason; 19 of them recurred with 1 to 6 abdominal and/or pelvic masses. The echographic patterns of recurrences are detailed.
