Özet

We present the case of a 56-year old man who presented with a large, well circumscribed cystic mass in the gastrocolic ligament. The histopathological study revealed an epithelioid leiomyosarcoma. Epithelioid leiomyosarcomas are generally solid tumours of the stomach. It is uncommon in the gastrocolic ligament and in a cystic formation. Preoperative diagnosis with ultrasound, computerized tomography and endoscopy was not made. Complete surgical resection of the mass was performed. Histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of epithelial leiomyosarcoma. Two years after surgery, clinical and radiological examinations of the patient were normal.
