Excerpt

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare tumors that usually affect the extremities but can occasionally present as retroperitoneal masses [1]. Pancreatic leiomyosarcoma (PLMS) is an exceptionally uncommon neoplasm that accounts for only 0.1% of all pancreatic malignancies [2, 3]. To date, 70 patients have been diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma of the pancreas reported in the literature. Almost all of the cases were diagnosed after resection or by biopsy. Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) has proven to be a safe and effective method for diagnosing neoplasms within or adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract [2]. We report the third case of leiomyosarcoma involving the pancreas and extending into the porta hepatis that was successfully diagnosed using EUS-FNA cytology [4, 5]. …
