[Primary leiomyoma of the liver: a rare benign tumor].
Primary hepatic leiomyoma is a very rare tumor secondary to benign smooth muscle proliferation. The primary location in the liver is usually found in adult women. A 36-year-old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain had primary hepatic leiomyoma. The presenting features of primary leiomyoma and the diagnostic approach for these lesions are discussed, in particular the role of immunohistochemistry.
