Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma occur at a younger age group than other uterine sarcomas, usually at an age 43 to 53 years. Sarcomatous changes are reported to occur in 0.13-0.8 percent of benign uterine leiomyomas. They are intramural (2/3 rd ), poorly circumscribed and cannot be shelled out from the surrounding myometrium.They loose whorled appearance. Apart from local invasion, most commonly it spreads to lungs by blood stream. Patient presents with irregular bleeding and discharge. Sometimes a portion of mass is passed per vaginum.Uterus is usually tender on palpation.
