Abstract
A keratin positive metastatic leiomyosarcoma in the lung, which resulted in diagnostic error, is reported. The results of additional studies of 17 benign and malignant leiomyogenic tumours with various keratin antibodies are presented and discussed in the light of recent bibliographical data.Keywords
