title: Dermal leiomyosarcoma of the right fifth finger. Case report.
abstract: A 17 year old man presented with a five-month history of swelling of the distal phalanx and a small ulcer on the pulp of the right fifth finger. Despite biopsy the diagnosis was missed until more than six months after onset, when the lesion was excised and histological examination showed a dermal leiomyosarcoma.
