To describe the clinical presentation, histopathological diagnosis, and surgical management of an intracutaneous leiomyosarcoma in the inguinal region.
Evaluated a 39-year-old female presenting with a painful subcutaneous inguinal nodule initially resected under suspicion of an infectious atheroma.
Performed histopathological examination and smooth muscle actin immunostaining, followed by wide local excision with a one-year postoperative follow-up.
Histopathology revealed a poorly delineated proliferation of spindle-shaped atypical myomatous cells in interlacing fascicles with positive smooth muscle actin staining.
Wide local excision achieved complete tumor clearance, with no local recurrence observed at the one-year follow-up.
