Long-term survival by repeat resection for metastases from primary retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma: A case report

Abstract: Highlights Retroperitoneal (RP) leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is rare, with a high recurrence rate. A woman with RP LMS underwent over 20 surgeries for recurrence over 24 years. Long-term survival of 29 years was achieved after these resections. Aggressive and radical repeat resections may be beneficial in such patients.

“…While complete resection remains the gold standard of treatment, with a 50% chance of a 5 years survival rate 6 , adjacent organs are always infiltrated by tumours and are typically removed concurrently. The invasion of prominent blood vessels by RLS is a common cause of the incomplete removal of a tumour, resulting in a recurrence rate of up to 80% after resection 7 . RLS also exhibits malignant characteristics, resulting in a poor prognosis and a low 5-year survival rate 8 .…”
