Two Cases of Cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma

Abstract

It is rare that the leiomyosarcoma occurs in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. We experienced 2 cases of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma.
Case 1 : An 85-year-old woman came to our hospital complaining of a 3-month history of red mass on her left cheek.
Case 2 : A 63- year-old woman consulted our hospital for the examination of orange-colored mass on her left shoulder which was noticed one month before. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that both patients had leiomyosarcoma. Surgical resection including 3cm margin of the normal skin and reconstruction was performed.
