Key result
En bloc resection with iliac reconstruction yields 27-month survival in retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma.
Why the study?
Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is a rare disease with limited case reports describing surgical resection involving iliac vessels and outcomes.
Case Report (n=1)
En bloc resection with iliac vessel reconstruction is a feasible approach for retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma involving major pelvic vessels.
Surgical resection with vascular reconstruction may be feasible in select retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma; leaves open optimal multimodal strategies for this rare entity.

FUTAMURA et al. (2004) conducted a case report in Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma (n=1). Tumor resection combined with left iliac vessels and arterial reconstruction was evaluated on Patient outcome. A 70-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma underwent en bloc resection including the left iliac vessels and arterial reconstruction, surviving with local recurrence at 27 months.
