Smooth muscle tumor developing in an immunocompromised child after therapy for leukemia.
We report a 5.5-year-old boy who underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia and who had two abdominal masses develop 6 months later. Macroscopically complete resection of the abdominal tumors was performed and revealed a well-differentiated leiomyosarcoma. Smooth muscle tumors, benign or malignant, are increasingly recognized in children with various immunodeficiencies; the association with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is rarely described.
