Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumours that can affect the skin. They are dominated by Kaposi’s sarcoma and dermatofibrosarcoma. Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a very rare entity. We report the case of a 78-year-old patient who presented with a primary frontal cutaneous leiomyosarcoma treated surgically with a good outcome at the last follow-up. The objective of this work is to identify the epidemiological, clinical, anatomopathological, therapeutic and prognostic particularities of this pathology through a review of the literature.
