Abstract

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor usually treated by wide local excision. We present a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the skin on the anterior aspect of the chest wall treated by Mohs micrographic surgery. This is only the second reported case so treated. The patient has remained recurrence-free for 30 months.
