N2 - A case of Stage IIIC primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma in a premenopausal woman with multiple recurrences alive and well 7 years after diagnosis is presented. In addition to the typical light microscopic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic features of ovarian leiomyosarcoma, the tumor was progesterone receptor positive. This is 28th report of primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma and the first report of progesterone receptor in this tumor. This is the longest reported survival in a woman with this disease.
