Abstract

Uterine leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon malignancy that develops from uterine smooth muscle and occurs more commonly in perimenopausal women. Because of its aggressive nature, high recurrence potential, and high ability to metastasize, it needs careful clinical post treatment long-term monitoring. This report intends to provide more insight to uterine leiomyosarcoma and its potential metastasis and unusual sites of metastasis. We report a case of a 49-year-old female, presented with a thyroid mass, which metastasized from a large uterine leiomyosarcoma, confirmed by cytology sampling examination utilizing ultrasound fine-needle aspiration. We review the differential diagnosis, clinical presentation, molecular basis, immunochemistry, prognosis, and treatment of metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma.
