Abstract
- Metastatic malignancy of the palatine tonsil is extremely rare. Several primary malignancies with tonsillar spread that have been described are renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and carcinoma of the breast, bronchus, stomach, prostate, and choriocarcinoma. But metastatic leiomyosarcoma of the palatine tonsil has not been previously reported. In this report, we present a 53-year-old female patient who had metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma spread to the palatine tonsil. In addition, she was confirmed to have distant metastasis in the lung. Uterine leiomyosarcoma with palatine tonsil metastasis is reported here for the first time.
