Abstract

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare gynaecologic malignancy accounting for approximately 3–9 percent of all tumours derived from the uterus. Several case reports have noted elevated levels of CA-125 with leiomyosarcoma, though this is not typical. Here we report a case of a patient with leiomyosarcoma, presenting with a suspicious adnexal mass and clinical presentation suggestive of ovarian carcinoma.
