| Abstrakt: | Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that accounts for almost 2-5% of all uterine malignancies. It has the highest prevalence during pre and perimenopause. Further, it clinically resembles benign conditions like leiomyoma, and the diagnosis is confirmed with the histologic findings of the mass. Here, we present the case of a 70-year-old female who presented with lower abdominal pain for two years. Exploratory laparotomy with hysterectomy was performed, and the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was confirmed after histological examination of the resected tumor.
