  • Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma: a 20-year retrospective study and review of the literature

    2021, Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia
    Citation Excerpt :

    Dermal leiomyosarcomas seem to arise from dermal piloerector smooth muscle.3 This type of leiomyosarcomas generally behaves as a non-aggressive neoplasm, with a relative tendency to local recurrence after removal (24%) but with a low risk of distant metastasis (3%–14%).1,4,5 On the other hand, subcutaneous leiomyosarcomas derive from smooth muscle fibers of the middle layer of the vascular wall of arteries and veins.3

  • Cutaneous Sarcomas

    2019, Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America
    Citation Excerpt :

    Patients with superficial LMS require close follow-up. Average time to LMS metastasis is 5.6 years, with disease-specific mortality of dermal LMS of 6% and 40% for subcutaneous LMS.76 Close follow-up for at least 5 to 10 years after diagnosis is recommended.66
