Key result
Endarterectomy reveals a rare primary intraluminal leiomyosarcoma of the right common iliac artery.
Why the study?
Primary intraluminal leiomyosarcoma of the common iliac artery is a rare diagnosis with uncertain treatment approaches.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the common iliac artery is a rare cause of occlusive vascular disorder presenting as intermittent claudication.
Rare iliac leiomyosarcoma may mimic claudication; leaves open optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this entity.
A case of primary intraluminal leiomyosarcoma of the right common iliac artery that presented itself by intermittent claudication is described. The diagnosis was established only postoperatively, based on examination of the endarterectomy specimen. No other primary tumor was found in the postoperative investigation and the patient received no further treatment. A review of the literature attests to the rarity of the diagnosis and the uncertainty regarding the mode of treatment.

Gutman et al. (1986) conducted a case report in Primary intraluminal leiomyosarcoma of the right common iliac artery (n=1). Endarterectomy was evaluated on Diagnosis and treatment outcome. Endarterectomy led to the postoperative diagnosis of a rare primary intraluminal leiomyosarcoma of the right common iliac artery, with no other primary tumor found.
