ABSTRACT
We encountered a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma with multiple lung metastases. The patient was a 52-year-old woman who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel. After 1 cycle of chemotherapy, the lung metastasis was reduced, but at the same time, she developed bilateral pneumothorax. Chemical pleurodesis using talc was performed. The lungs were expanded and stabilized in 7 days. After 5 cycles of chemotherapy were administered, no recurrence of pneumothorax and adverse effects were observed.
