title: Primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma in an adult female.
abstract: Primary leiomyosarcoma of the adrenal gland is a rare tumour and we describe such a case in a 35 year old female who had dull pain in the left flank for 6 months. There was no weight loss or fever only mild tenderness was in the left subcostal region. She was normotensive and there was no evidence of virilization. CT scan revealed left adrenal mass, after adrenalectomy it was 8.5×7.5×6.2cm³ in size. There was no evidence of local extension or metastasis. Histopathology confirmed adrenal leiomyosarcome.
