| Primary breast leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare. The associated imaging findings
are generally not pathognomonic and can mimic those of other breast sarcomas and
phyllodes tumors. The prognosis of leiomyosarcoma is better than that of other breast
sarcomas. Here, we report on the case of a 36-year-old woman with a large, rapidly
growing mass in the left breast, which was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma. The lesion
appeared as a circumscribed hyperdense mass on mammography, and a lobulated
circumscribed mixed echoic mass with surrounding edema on ultrasonography, and it
showed peripheral and multi-septated enhancement on computed tomography. We
discuss the imaging findings and clinical outcome. |
