Abstract
A case of 52-year-old female presented with dysarthria and paresis of right upper extremity 3 years after an operation and chemotherapy for uterine leiomyosarcoma. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an enhanced mass in the left corona radiata. Brain biopsy was carried out and pathological examination of the specimen showed features of a leiomyosarcoma. Uterine leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumor and its metastasis to the brain is rare. Only 13 other cases have been published. The patient underwent gamma-knife therapy and obtains good quality of life.
