Abstract

Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor, and distant metastasis to skull bone is very uncommon. We experienced a case of parietal skull bone metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma in a 52-year-old woman who had undergone simple total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy with the diagnosis of uterine myoma. We treated this patient with combination chemotherapy using cisplatin and adriamycin and radiotherapy after craniectomy. She is alive now without particular symptoms. We report this case with a brief review of some literatures.
