title: Primary leiomyosarcoma of the breast: a case report with review of the literature.
abstract: Breast sarcomas account for about 1% of all malignant breast cancers. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS), one of the rarest, was first described 20 years ago, and yet few published reports exist. A case of primary LMS in a 25-year-old woman is presented and is only the 18th well-documented case in the literature. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapy, and pathologic features are reviewed.
