Primary omental smooth muscle tumor in an adult male: a diagnostic dilemma for leiomyoma: a case report.

We encountered a primary smooth muscle tumor of the greater omentum with no histological findings suggestive of malignancy in an adult male patient. However, omental smooth muscle tumors are extremely difficult to define as benign, requiring careful diagnosis. Further case reports with long-term follow-up and case series are required to determine whether a true omental benign smooth muscle tumor (leiomyoma) exists. In addition, proper interpretation of the Ki-67 labeling index should be established. This case study is a foundation for future research.
