Leiomyosarcoma of Nose a Very Rare Tumor Case Report: Unusual Case Leiomyosarcoma Inferior Turbinate

AbstractLeiomyosarcoma (LMS) accounts for approximately 7% of all soft tissue sarcomas and occurs most frequently in the gastrointestinal tract and uterus. In the head and neck, however, LMS makes up only 2.3%. LMS of the nasal cavity and Para nasal sinuses are very rare and only about 20 cases of LMS of the nose and Para nasal sinuses have been reported in the literature. Initially, LMS should be treated by extensive surgical excision, long-term follow-up is essential due to the high rate of local recurrence. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are insufficient therapeutic approaches. Frequency of recurrence and prognosis depend on the tumor site.
