Abstract
Solitary tumors of the broad ligament are rare. The most frequent solid tumor of the broad ligament is leiomyoma. Leiomyosarcoma of the broad ligament (LBL) is an extremely rare malignant tumor. Nine cases of leiomyosarcoma of the broad ligament had been reported previously. A 59-year-old woman with LBL is reported. Treatment consisted of resection and total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. No evidence of metastasis is noted after 12 months follow-up. We conclude that the management of LBL is excision of the leiomyosarcoma as completely as possible and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. ? 1995 Academic Press. All rights reserved.
