Abstract
Leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon malignant tumour of the pancreas. Many retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas grow silently and are extremely large when diagnosed. We report a 45 year old lady who presented with abdominal lump and haemoptysis. Ultrasound guided biopsy of the mass revealed a pancreatic leiomyosarcoma. The patient had lung metastasis and received chemotherapy. She is alive with disease at last followup.
