Sumario:Chemotherapy is the standard of care for disseminated uterine leiomyosarcoma; however, long-term survival is rarely achieved with this aggressive disease. We report a patient with recurrent pulmonary metastatic disease from uterine leiomyosarcoma who is doing well without significant disease nine years after her initial diagnosis. We discuss her clinical course, the treatment modalities she received, and the clinical evidence supporting these.
