Lung Metastasis From Uterine Leiomyosarcoma: An Asymptomatic Presentation for a Rare Tumor

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULC) is an uncommon neoplasm characterized by poor prognosis, it can predispose to distant metastasis, causing various symptomatic presentations. We present a unique case of a large heterogeneous mass in the lung cavity arising from a ULC, with complete absence of pulmonary s...

description Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULC) is an uncommon neoplasm characterized by poor prognosis, it can predispose to distant metastasis, causing various symptomatic presentations. We present a unique case of a large heterogeneous mass in the lung cavity arising from a ULC, with complete absence of pulmonary symptoms and with concurrent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. A high degree of clinical suspicion is required for ULC with accompanying metastasis.
