[Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma in a patient with gastric non-Hodgkin lymphoma].
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the liver is a rare entity and fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Even more unusual is the association with another previous tumour. We report the case of a 84-year-old man who had been treated for a gastric non-Hodgkin lymphoma two years previously. He presented with a painful mass in the right upper abdomen. An ultrasound scan showed a large mass in the right lobe of the liver and chest radiography showed pulmonary metastases. Liver biopsy was performed and immunohistochemical analysis revealed a malignant leiomyosarcoma. We discuss this case and review the available literature.
