title: [A case of pulmonary metastasis of ovarian leiomyosarcoma responsive to CTP therapy].
abstract: One case of pulmonary metastasis of leiomyosarcoma responsive to CTP therapy was reported. The patient was a 44-year-old woman who had undergone total simple hysterectomy for uterine myoma 6 years before. Five years after the operation she underwent ovariectomy for ovarian tumor. Based on the histopathological findings, she was diagnosed to have leiomyosarcoma. One year later the patient was referred to use because of pulmonary metastasis. After admission to our hospital CTP therapy was started. Disappearance of the metastatic lesion was demonstrated by the chest X-ray findings at the end of five courses of treatment.
