Leiomyosarcoma
Leiomyosarcoma may be a rare sort of
cancer that affects smooth muscle tissue. These
tumors are most common in the abdomen, but can occur anywhere in the body, including the uterus. Other common sites include blood vessels and skin.
Leiomyosarcoma may be a malignant (cancerous)
tumor that arises from smooth muscle
Cells There are essentially two sorts of muscles within the body - voluntary and involuntary. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles - the
brain has no conscious control over them.
Smooth muscles react involuntarily in response to various stimuli. For example, smooth muscle that lines the walls of the digestive tract causes wave-like contractions (peristalsis) that aid in the digestion and transport of food. Smooth muscles in the salivary glands cause the glands to squirt saliva into the mouth in response to taking a bite of food. Smooth muscle in the skin causes goose bumps to form in response to cold.
Leiomyosarcoma is a form of cancer. The term "cancer" refers to a gaggle of diseases characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled cellular growth that invades surrounding
tissues and should spread (metastasize) to distant body sites via the bloodstream, the lymphatic system, or other means. Different sorts of cancer, including leiomyosarcomas, could also be classified based upon the cell type involved, the precise nature of the malignancy, and therefore the disease's clinical course. Leiomyosa usually spreads via the bloodstream. It is very rare to see it in lymphatics.
