Abstract

Myxoid leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor that originates from the mesenchymal tissue with extensive mucoid degeneration. It usually occurs in the uterus; occurrences from other tissues are extremely rare. Here we report the FDG PET/CT findings and clinicopathological of primary pleura myxoid leiomyosarcoma in a 51-year-old man.
