Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the colon accounts for <1% of all colorectal malignancies. Our patient was a 72-year-old man with a history of aortic valvular disorder and congestive heart failure, who presented with an abdominal mass and no constitutional symptoms. The CT scan finding suggested a large tumour with both solid and cystic components. Intraoperatively, a portion of the involved colon was resected along with the tumour. Microscopically, the tumour was found to invade the muscularis propria layer of the transverse colon. The final diagnosis was LMS, FNCLCC grade 2 of 3 based on the histology and immunochemistry.
