A Case of Leiomyosarcoma Located in the Preauricular Region

Abstract

A rare case of leiomyosarcoma located in the preauricular region is presented along with a review of the medical literature. A 17-year-old female developed pain and swelling in the right preauricular region. She was admitted to our hospital, and a tumor was surgically removed. Histological examination of the resected tumor revealed leiomyosarcoma immunohistochemically. She has had no recurrence for a year and 10 months following surgery.
