A house-wife, aged 39, with leiomyosarcoma involving the bone was reported. The patient had complained of rapidly progressive swelling and pain on the left foot for about three months, followed by the formation of two tumors at the medial aspect of the left foot.
Radiologically extensive osteolytic lesion of the tarsal bone was demonstrated. Chest radiograph showed no detectable tumorous shadow.
Amputation was performed 8 days after admission.
The diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was histologically established.
The tumor is presumed to have arisen from the deep soft tissue attached to the tarsal bone, but the possibility of the tumor originated in bone cannot be ruled out.
She died of disseminated pulmonary metastases 7 months after her first admission.
