description Primary omental leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor. We report a case of successfully resected omental leiomyosarcoma whose presentation mimicked ovarian carcinoma. Symptoms of abdominal distension and discomfort that lasted 8 months followed by pain lead to a diagnosis of a large mass in the abdomen. Physical examination revealed a large, over 20 cm tumor, suspected to be of ovarian origin. A small amount of ascites was found on Computerized Tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) scans. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy and tumor debulking procedure was planned. Laparotomy revealed normal uterus ovaries and tubes with a leiomyosarcoma of the omentum which was completely resected successfully. Only 26 cases of primary leiomyosarcoma of the omentum were previously described in the literature. A review of the literature is also presented.
