The Relation Between Histological, Tumor‐Biological and ClinicalParameters in Deep and Superficial Leiomyosarcoma and Leiomyoma

Abstract

The difference in clinical outcome between patients with a superficial and deep LMS, seems to be related to site and size.The metastatic potential of subcutaneous LMS, however, seems to be related to location alone and not to size.The amount of apoptosis and proliferation can be used as additional criteria in the differentiation between superficial LMS and LM.
