“…In fact, numerous cases of malignant tumors over the pocket area have been described in the literature. These include melanomas, sarcomas, squamous cell carcinomas, breast carcinomas, plasmacytomas, non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas, and fibroxanthomas . Treatment should be tailored to the underlying neoplastic disorder and prognosis depends on the specific malignancy.…”

“…Occurrence of this tumour in such situation could be a coincidence. However, it was suggested that chronic inflammation or irritation could be a possible etiopathogenic mechanism 8 . Malignant transformation of a leiomyoma has also been reported 9 .…”

“…The most common predisposing factors reported are trauma and radiotherapy 6 . Other factors suggested are solar exposure, burns, chemical agents, vaccines, tick bites, venous stasis or lupus, tattooing 7 and close to the site of titanium pacemaker 8 . No such etiological correlation was noted in our patient.…”

Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma represents superficial form of leiomyosarcoma which is a rare mesenchymal tumour originating from smooth muscle cells. Clinically cutaneous leiomyosarcoma can be confused with other cutaneous tumour and needs histopathology and immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis. As it is an uncommon malignant neoplasm we encouraged reporting this case who presented to our hospital as an irregular nodular cutaneous lump of short duration in her right thigh. After local excision histopathological examination of excised specimen established the diagnosis of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma. A brief review of literature is also included here.

“…The other previously reported case was a cutaneous leiomyosarcoma that developed on a pacemaker pocket. 2 In that case there was a previous biopsy-proven pilar leiomyoma, and it was postulated that it had undergone a transformation to leiomyosarcoma in the presence of the pacemaker generator. 2 Malignant lesions arising in the background of chronic inflammatory stimulation or metallic implants have been described.…”
