“…LMS is a rare type of soft-tissue sarcoma that can originate anywhere in the body, most commonly in the retroperitoneum [3]. Primary retro-peritoneal LMS are often asymptomatic and have a high propensity for haematogenous metastatic spread most commonly to the lung, thyroid, liver, brain and bone [4]. Previous research has shown that 40% of cases with primary LMS diagnosis will have co-existent distant metastasis [5].…”

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare smooth muscle connective tissue tumour accounting for around 11% of soft-tissue sarcomas (Ducimetiere F, Lurkin A, Ranchere-Vince D, Decouvelaere AV, Péoc’h M, Istier L et al . Incidence of sarcoma histotypes and molecular subtypes in a prospective epidemiological study with central pathology review and molecular testing. PLoS One 2011;6:e20294). LMS are highly unpredictable tumours that can present at any site in the body, most commonly in the uterus, stomach, small intestine and retroperitoneum. There are few published case reports within the literature on the metastatic spread of LMS to skeletal muscle. We present an unusual presentation of metastatic Leiomyosarcoma in the right forearm of a 71-year-old male treated with limb-sparing surgical excision. This case report demonstrates the unusual and unpredictable nature of metastatic LMS presentation, which poses difficulty in diagnosis and management.

“…Aslan et al [7], demonstrated a unique case of right temporalis muscle metastasis from uterine LMS in an elderly female patient. Other reported anatomical locations of LMS metastasis to skeletal muscle include: masseter, gluteus maximus, rectus abdominis, flank and thigh [4].…”
