Adelaide woman one of 30 cases worldwide of broad ligament leiomyosarcoma
An Adelaide woman has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that has been reported in less than 30 other cases worldwide.
Mother of two, Lara Hall, 38, was diagnosed with broad liGament leiomyosarcoma this year when doctors removed a 16cm tumour that was blocking her kidney.
Leiomyosarcoma is a rare form of cancer that can grow in any smooth muscle tissue, and for Hall it was found in her broad liGament connective tissue around her reproductive organs.

Hall said a month earlier she had experienced sharp abdominal pain for about two days, then went to the emergency department.
“It felt like stomach pain or back pain,” she said.
