Abstract
Summary Extrarectal leiomyosarcoma of the colon is a pathologic rarity. An unduly optimistic prognosis has been reported. Our experience with a rapidly lethal case prompted this review. Follow-up information was requested from previous reviewers. Only two cases of five-year survival without disease have been documented. Because of these statistics and the early deaths of ten patients, we believe that the optimism previously mentioned is unwarranted.Keywords
