Leiomyosarcoma of the stomach: results of surgery and chemotherapy in an eleven-year-old girl with liver metastases

H Johnson et al. Med Pediatr Oncol. 1980.

Abstract

This report describes an 11-7/12-year-old girl with leiomyosarcoma of the stomach metastatic to liver who was treated with surgical resection and combination chemotherapy, which included adriamycin. She remains well 52 months after diagnosis and 27 months after cessation of chemotherapy. The favorable course of this patient suggests that aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy should be considered for patients with leiomyosarcoma who have poor prognostic features.
