“…There is also an additional case described in the dorsum of the tongue without histopathological slides [26]. Temporal and masseter muscles as well as parotid and submandibular glands were already described as the target of uterine LMS metastasis [27][28][29][30]. It is noteworthy to report that all but one oral metastatic lesion occurred concurrently with other metastatic deposits, especially on the lungs [4, 6-9, 14, 26], which turns, as in our case, a challenging patient clinical management.…”

Post-radiotherapy sarcomas of the oral cavity and oral metastasis from soft tissue sarcomas are very uncommon, but based on patient's clinical history, they should be considered by oral health care providers in order to allow an early diagnosis and proper and timely management. Finally, to the best of our knowledge, this seems to be the first reported case of tongue leiomyosarcoma arising in a previously irradiated field.

“…Spread to the lung (6), thyroid (7), liver (6,8), brain (9), and bone (6, 10) has been reported. To the best of our knowledge, there are two cases of skeletal muscle metastasis of uterine leiomyosarcoma reported in the literature (5,11). In this case report, we describe a case of metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma to the rectus abdominalis muscle as the first case in the literature.…”

“…Salazar et al (12,14) reported 5-year survival of leiomyosarcomas of stage I of 53% and stage II-IV of 8%, respectively. Up to date, 5 cases of skeletal muscle metastasis of leiomyosarcoma have been reported (5,11,(15)(16)(17). O'Brein et al (5) presented a case of a 68-year-old patient with a complaint of painless mass in the anterior aspect of the thigh.…”

“…It is important to distinguish a primary subcutaneous leiomyosarcoma from a secondary leiomyosarcoma because treatment and prognosis are very different [15]. Only five cases of secondary head and neck leiomyosarcoma-without hepatic or pulmonary metastases-have been documented to date [8,15,16,18,19].…”

Background Leiomyosarcoma usually develops in the myometrium and is characterized by a high recurrence rate, frequent hematogenous dissemination, and poor prognosis. Metastasis is usually to lungs, liver, and bone, and occasionally to the brain, but seldom to the head and neck region. Primary leiomyosarcoma very rarely arises in the broad ligament. Case presentation A 54-year old woman presented to the otolaryngology department with a mass in the right posterior region of the neck 4 years after surgery for a primary leiomyosarcoma of the right broad ligament. The neck mass was removed and found to be a metastatic leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma localizations in lungs and liver were absent. Morphological examination showed both the primary and the secondary leiomyosarcomas to have features of low-grade tumors. One year after excision of the neck mass, the patient presented with tachycardia. Echocardiography detected two intracardiac nodules suggestive of metastatic tumors. Chemotherapy was administered; the disease has been stable since then. Conclusions We report the first case of broad ligament leiomyosarcoma with the neck subcutaneous region being the first site of secondary involvement. We speculate that the Batson venous plexus might have been the pathway of dissemination.
