Leiomyosarcoma of the oesophagus: a case report and literature review of leiomyosarcoma.
Leiomyosarcomas are uncommon tumours. Oesophageal leiomyosarcomas are even rarer. A case is presented of this rare tumour which on review of the literature seems to be the first patient surviving 22 years from the original treatment. We include a literature review of the clinical behaviour and management of leiomyosarcoma.
