Abstract
Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm having a tendency to the distant metastasis, most commonly to the lung, liver and brain. In this case, magnetic resonance imaging findings of recurrent uterine leiomyosarcoma metastasing to the sternum, which is unusual metastatic site for uterine leiomyosarcoma, are presented.
Özet
Uterus leiomyosarkomları zayıf metastaz eğilimi olan nadir yumuşak doku tümörleridir. En sık, akciğerler, karaciğer ve beyine metastaz yaparlar. Bu olgu sunumunda sternuma metastaz yapan nüks uterus leiomyosarkomunun manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları sunulmakatadır.
