title: Breast cancer metastatic to uterine leiomyosarcoma. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: An unusual case of breast cancer metastatic to leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is reported. The patient had multiple metastases from the breast carcinoma and presented a pelvic mass in its evolution. A laparotomy with total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy was performed to give pain relief. A review of the world literature about these uncommon sites of breast metastases is presented.
