ABSTRACT
We report a 45 years-old woman operated in 2003 for a stage IV uterine leiomyosarcoma with lung metastases. Pulmonary metastases were surgically excised in 2003, 2005 and finally in July, 2006. Since then, the patient is in good conditions. There is evidence that resection of pulmonary metastases of gynecologic cancers, when the primary tumor is controlled, significantly prolongs survival.
