“…Neuman 19 believes that a benign lesion may ultimately become malignant, and multiple instances of late recurrence and spread of locally excised leiomyomas of the rectum have been reported. 5,[19][20][21][22][23][24] Since examination of portions of a tumor may not be representative of the true malignant behavior of the entire lesion, it is possible that, as in our case 2, some "leiomyomas" probably have evidence of malignancy and were originally misdiagnosed histologically. 20 Other investigators suggest that all tumors with increased cellularity should be regarded as potentially malignant, even when without mitosis or cellular atypism.…”

“…17 For anal leiomyosarcoma, i.e., leiomyosarcoma of the terminal 2-3 cm of the large intestine, the total number of cases in the English-language literature is probably fewer than 15 and none were reported from Taiwan. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Most rectal leiomyosarcomas are seen in the lower third and presenting symptoms are constipation, rectal pain, pressure sensation, dysuria, difficult defecation, or obstruction. However, when the lesions produce symptoms, they are difficult to distinguish from those caused by epidermoid carcinoma.…”
