Abstract
Primary leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the tongue is an extremely rare, highly aggressive malignancy associated with poor survival outcome. We report a case of 60 years old male who presented with growth left lateral border of tongue since 6 months. Histopathological examination of the excised growth confirmed the diagnosis of LMS. An exhaustive panel of immunohistochemical markers helped in ruling out other malignant spindle cell differentials.
