Abstract

Nowadays, leiomyosarcoma is still difficult to early diagnosis, has no standard treatment to follow, and the therapeutic value of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy haven’t been evaluated effectively. Here was a case, which was misdiagnosed as uterine myoma, and was found already to occur lung metastasis after surgery. Complete remission (CR) was achieved after four cycles of albupax-containing chemotherapy. But six months later brain metastases was found. Then the patient received semustine, local radiotherapy and surgery, once again, achieved CR.
