Abstract
Primary leiomyosarcoma of bone is a rare aggressive tumor that occurs mainly in older
people. It resembles other malignancies clinically and radiologically, and differential
diagnosis is based on histopathology, including immunohistochemistry. If leiomyosarcoma
is found in bone, the possibility that it is a metastasis from a distant tumor should
be investigated. The treatment is surgical excision with wide margins. Here we present
three patients who had primary leiomyosarcoma of radius, ilium, and femur, respectively,
and who were treated surgically.
