Abstract
A case of leiomyosarcoma of the rectum is presented and followed by a review of 135 cases from the literature. The five- and ten-year survival figures were the same whether the patient was treated by radical or local excision; however, local excision was followed by 67.5 percent recurrence. Abdominoperineal resection is still the procedure of choice. Local excision might be considered for small tumors of low-grade malignancy in a poor-risk patient.Keywords
