Overview
The majority of patients with leiomyosarcoma remain asymptomatic for decades. General symptoms associated with cancer may occur including fatigue, fever, weight loss, a general feeling of ill health (malaise), and nausea and vomiting.
History and Symptoms
The symptoms of leiomyosarcoma depend on the location of the tumor. For the tumors always develop in gastrointestinal tract and uterus, usual symptoms are the following.
- Abdominal pain in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
- Pelvic pain in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
- Dysphagia in Esophageal Leiomyosarcoma[3]
- Hematemesis in Esophageal Leiomyosarcoma
- Black, tarry stools or rectal bleeding in Rectal Leiomyosarcoma[4]
- Unusual vaginal bleeding in case of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma[5]
