Overview
Despite the advances in radiology, it is still hard to differentiate leiomyosarcoma from other unusual malignant tumors prior to the surgeries.
Biopsy
- Biopsy: It is the most important test for diagnosing leiomyosarcoma and differentiating it from leiomyoma of other types such apoplectic leiomyoma. On biopsy, leiomyosarcoma is seen as large, solitary, poorly circumscribed masses [1][2]
