| Popis: | Leiomyosarcomas of the vasculature are exceedingly rare tumors in childhood. The case of a 2-year-old girl who underwent three local excisions with two courses of adjuvant chemotherapy over 3 years for a leiomyosarcoma of a saphenous vein tributary is described. Follow-up over the following 9 years has shown no evidence of further recurrence or metastases suggesting that cure has been achieved. Treatment options are discussed and pertinent literature is reviewed. |
