“…The number of mitotic images per ten high-power fields serves as a prognostic indicator, addressing the challenges researchers face in this field. While histological characteristics such as atypia, cellularity, and necrosis are associated with malignancy to some extent, the mitotic count per high-power field (HPF) appears to be the most reliable indicator of malignancy ( 15 ).…”

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an uncommon and aggressive form of cancer that originates in the smooth muscles. It possesses the capacity for rapid growth and often manifests with general, nonspecific symptoms arising from the displacement of nearby structures rather than direct invasion. In this particular instance, an 81-year-old woman presented with right lower abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a mass adjacent to the right external iliac artery. In this case, the patient was misdiagnosed initially because of her nonspecific and poorly distinguished clinical symptoms. The laboratory results were within normal ranges. A well-defined tumor was detected through laparoscopic operation and subsequently surgically excised. The histopathological analysis of the tumor revealed the presence of malignant spindle cells, nuclear pleomorphism, and tumor giant cells. Immunohistochemistry tests indicated positive results for CD34 and Desmin, while CD117 and DOG1 showed adverse effects. It is worth noting that LMS of the right external iliac artery is an infrequent occurrence, potentially resulting in delayed diagnosis and misidentification. To enhance our comprehension of this uncommon cancer, more cases with detailed information are essential.

“…Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) of the pelvis are typically either derived from vascular structures, such as the iliac vein (or less commonly the iliac artery), or the uterus. 19,20 Rarely, LMS may originate from the ureter 21 or the prostate. [22][23][24] Most sarcomas of the prostate are LMS, with rhabdomyosarcoma being the second most common histologic variant.…”

In this review, we first address the anatomic and technical considerations in the resection of pelvic soft tissue tumors, including the challenges unique to these tumors, such as the narrow anatomic confines of the bony pelvis, the often locally aggressive nature of these tumors, as well as the major functional deficits that may result from their resection. We then review the optimal, multidisciplinary, histology-driven treatment approach to pelvic tumors.
