Chronic Subdural Hematoma Caused by Calvarial and Dural Metastasis from Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
Uterine Leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is an aggressive tumor with poor clinical outcome. Skull and dural metastasis from uterine uLMS is exceptionally rare. We report a 60-year-old woman who had a 6 months' history of per vaginal bleed and abdominal pain who presented to us in a confused state and rais...

description | Uterine Leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is an aggressive tumor with poor clinical outcome. Skull and dural metastasis from uterine uLMS is exceptionally rare. We report a 60-year-old woman who had a 6 months' history of per vaginal bleed and abdominal pain who presented to us in a confused state and raised intracranial pressure symptoms with swelling over her right frontal-temporal region. She underwent excision of the right frontal-temporal tumor and evacuation of a right subdural hematoma (SDH), which greatly improved her condition. Postoperatively, she underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This case highlights the importance of clinical suspicion to diagnose patients with this rare metastasis to this region and the appropriate subsequent treatment. We herein report a rare case of metastatic uLMS with skull and dural metastasis that presented with SDH. |
