[Liver leiomyosarcoma].
Hepatic tumors are infrequent. Sarcomas represent less than 2% of them, and Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a certain rarity. The frequency grows from primitive tumors to metastatic tumors and in the last years, in relation with different immunodeficiencies. A case of a patient diagnosed in the postoperative and assisted in two relapses until her death, is reported. The possible aetiologies are analyzed in the hepatic gland that does not have muscle of its own, as well as in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, insisting in the lack of rules, because of the low number of publications. Morphologic variations between the primitive tumor and its relapses are also shown.
