Overview

The majority of patients with leiomyosarcoma remain asymptomatic for decades. General symptoms associated with cancer may occur including fatigue, fever, weight loss, a general feeling of ill health (malaise), and nausea and vomiting.

History and Symptoms

The symptoms of leiomyosarcoma depend on the location of the tumor. For the tumors always develope in gastrointestinal tract and uterus, usual symptoms are the following.

  • A new lump or a lump that is growing anywhere on your body[1][2]
  • Pelvic pain in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
  • Dysphagia in Esophageal Leiomyosarcoma[3]
  • Black, tarry stools or rectal bleeding in Rectal Leiomyosarcoma[4]
  • Unusual vaginal bleeding in case of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma[5]
