Abstract
Primary neoplasms of the diaphragm are extremely rare and their diagnosis is often difficult. We present a case of leiomyosarcoma of the diaphragm in a 23-year-old male presenting with aspecific abdominal discomfort. The final diagnosis was achieved on the basis of histopathological findings after surgery. The role of different imaging techniques as diagnostic tools is also discussed.
