- Abstract
This paper reports on a case of intestinal leiomyosarcoma with metastases to the liver, peritoneum, and omentum, which has been successfully treated with four operations. The initial operation was performed for a primary intestinal leiomyosarcoma and intraperitoneal seeding. Three months later "shelling out" of a liver metastasis was carried out. The patient has subsequently been operated upon twice for abdominal recurrence at six years and nine months, and nine years and six months, respectively. The patient is free from symptoms and is working now, ten years after resection of metastasic leiomyosarcoma of the liver. A review of the literatures has revealed that our patient is the first ten-year survivor after resection of hepatic metastasis of leiomyosarcoma. An aggressive surgery is acceptable in selected patients who have spreading leiomyosarcoma of the bowel.
