Abstract EN
Primary colorectal leiomyosarcoma is an excessively rare entity.
It is associated with an aggressive behavior and typically favor hematogenous spread.
The current standard of care is surgical resection.
A 49-year-old patient presented with a 2-month history of fever.
A PET-scan revealed a hypermetabolic mass in the transverse colon, and colonoscopy confirmed a tumor.
A right hemicolectomy was performed.
Histopathological diagnosis was of a leiomyosarcoma.
Fourteen months after the surgery, a follow-up abdominal scan revealed a 2 cm mesenteric lymph node that was hypermetabolic on PET-scan.
The mesenteric lymph node was resected and histopathology confirmed a leiomyosarcoma metastasis.
This case opens the controversy on the management of rare lymph node recurrences in colorectal leiomyosarcoma.
