* The majority of patients with leiomyosarcoma remain asymptomatic for decades.
* Most leiomyosarcomas are diagnosed incidentally at an advanced stage.
* They are invariably aggressive and associated with the poor prognosis.
'''Prognosis:''' The prognosis of leiomyosarcoma is poor and it depends on varying factors:
* Tumor size
* Tumor location
* Tumor type/Grade
* DNA content
* Hormonal receptor status
* cellular division and mitotic rate
* local and distant extension
