Zusammenfassung
Bei einem 48-jährigen Patienten konnte histologisch ein kutanes Leiomyosarkom diagnostiziert
werden, das ventral am Thorax aufgetreten war. Anamnestisch bestand der Tumor zum
Zeitpunkt der Diagnose bereits seit etwa 7 Jahren. Die Staging-Untersuchungen ergaben
keinen Hinweis für eine Metastasierung. Die Prognose der oberflächlichen Leiomyosarkome
ist unter anderem abhängig von ihrer Lokalisation innerhalb der Hautstrukturen und
bei den kutanen Formen günstiger als bei den subkutanen oder den viszeralen Manifestationsformen.
Cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma
A 48-year-old male patient presented with a sternally located skin tumor that histologically
turned out to be a cutaneous leiomyosarcoma. The tumor had first been noted by the
patient about 7 years ago. Further investigations showed no evidence of metastasis.
The prognosis of superficial leiomyosarcomas depends on the localization within the
skin (cutaneous vs. subcutaneous). The purely cutaneous tumors have a more favorable
outlook than the subcutaneous or extracutaneous forms.
