Key result
Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma can mimic a myoma with vascular and urethral adhesion, highlighting the need for evaluation and management in a center with multidisciplinary sarcoma expertise.
Why the study?
Retroperitoneal sarcoma is relatively uncommon, prompting the authors to share their experience managing a case with vascular and urethral adhesion.
Highlights a rare presentation of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma mimicking a myoma, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary management.

Supports multidisciplinary sarcoma center referral for complex retroperitoneal cases; leaves open generalizability from this single experience.
Retroperitoneal sarcoma is relatively uncommon. We share our experience in encountering retroperitoneal sarcoma with vascular and urethral adhesion in a 46-year-old woman. Given the rarity of these tumors, evaluation and management should ideally be performed in a center equipped with multidisciplinary expertise in treating sarcomas.
