Leiomyosarcoma is the malignant counterpart of leiomyoma. It arises from smooth muscle of the uterus and is rare tumor that account for 2-5% of all uterine malignancy. We report a case of 60 years old female who presented with post menopausal bleeding with endometrial polyp. A total abdominal hysterectomy specimen was received in our center. A differential diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma/ Endometrial stromal sarcoma was made by histopathological examination. Immunohistochemistry report confirmed the diagnosis of uterine Leiomyosarcoma.
