 note = {Leiomyosarcoma of the chest wall is a rare, but well recognozed clinical entity. We describe a case with leiomyosarcoma which was diagnosed by the use of immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies. A 81 -year-old woman developed a large firm tumor in her right lateral chest wall in October, 1994. A chest X-ray showed osteolytic changes in the 8th rib embedded in the tumor. A CT scan revealed a tumor arising from the chest wall along with a destroyed rib, thus indicating the tumor to be malignant. A radical resection of the tumor leaving a-3 cm free margin in the chest wall was performed. Reconstruction of the chest wall defect was performed using prosthetic material (Marlex mesh). The tumor measured 6 X 6 X 4 cm in size. The cut surface was gray-white in color and firm with a whorled appearance. The pathological examination (routine histology, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy) confirmed the diagnosisof leiomyosarcoma arising from the chest wall. The patient is doing well, disease-free and currently in her 5th month after surgery., 論文},
