Only 30 cases of myxoid leiomyosarcomas (MLMS) have been reported to date. The authors describe a further case in a 66-year-old woman. The main differential diagnoses include: myxoid inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours, mixoid leiomyoma, and endometrial stromal tumours. Surgery remains the appropriate treatment. However, in spite of an aggressive surgical approach and local and systemic control, recurrences and metastasis are frequent.

Abstract
Only 30 cases of myxoid leiomyosarcomas (MLMS) have been reported to date. The authors describe a further case in a 66-year-old woman. The main differential diagnoses include: myxoid inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours, mixoid leiomyoma, and endometrial stromal tumours. Surgery remains the appropriate treatment. However, in spite of an aggressive surgical approach and local and systemic control, recurrences and metastasis are frequent.
