Leiomyosarcoma of the pancreas.
We report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the pancreas. A spindle cell pattern at light microscopy, immunocytochemical reactivity with desmin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, vimentin and actin and ultrastructural features of smooth muscle differentiation help to establish the diagnosis.
