Introduction

Leiomyosarcoma is a soft-tissue neoplasm of smooth muscle origin. Primarily, it occurs in the myometrium, retroperitoneum, or dermis of the extremities; primary leiomyosarcoma of the adrenal gland is very rare. Till date, only 30 patients have been reported. Here, we report another case of primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma and review of the clinical and pathological characteristics.
