Coexistence of Two Rare Sarcomas: Primary Leiomyosarcoma of Bone and Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of the Liver

الملخص EN

A 33-year-old woman sought medical attention for a painful swelling of the left ankle.

Plain radiographs revealed an osteolytic lesion involving the left distal tibia.

An excisional biopsy provided the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma in the tibia.

A staging work-up was performed and an abdominal CT showed 4 liver hypodense lesions in both lobes with peripheral contrast enhancement.

A liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver.

No association between these two entities has been described before.

This case introduces the importance of the pathological confirmation of apparent metastatic lesions in low grade sarcomas and provides a review of the literature of both tumours.
