title: Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma in a child.
abstract: Superficial leiomyosarcomas are infrequent tumors that are very rare in childhood. We report on a 12-year-old white boy with a cutaneous leiomyosarcoma of his left groin. Immunohistochemical study revealed positive immunostaining with antibodies to vimentin, desmin, and smooth muscle actin. The tumor was removed with wide surgical margins.
