Background Intraorbital lesions associated with symptomatic trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) are rarely reported. We present a case of orbital metastatic leiomyosarcoma, presenting with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania-like headache. Case report A 43-year-old man presented with a severe
We describe a 53 year old man with a two months history of frontal headache and right visual loss, with complete right blindness at the moment of diagnosis. Neither nasal obstruction nor endocrine symptoms were found. Computerized Tomography showed a neoplasm involving both paranasal sinuses and
Immunodeficient patients have an increased incidence of neoplasms, whether the immunodeficiency is due to genetic disorder, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), or immunosuppressive therapy. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare neoplasm, even if its incidence has increased because of AIDS. Less
Leiomyosarcoma of the head and neck is very rare, as only about 100 cases have been reported; of these, only 3 cases have been previously reported in the parapharyngeal space. We report the fourth such case, and we review the features of this entity. The patient was an 84-year-old woman who
A 48-year-old woman underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy after preoperative diagnosis of multiple uterine leiomyomas. The histopathological diagnosis was leiomyosarcoma (LMS). After 47 months, multiple lung metastases were detected and resected. The patient was also diagnosed with pelvic bone
Primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma (PIL) is a rare non-infectious aetiology of focal mass lesions among HIV-infected individuals. With only 16 published cases worldwide, information on its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical course and management options is limited. We report two cases of PIL
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this multi-institutional non randomized phase II trial was to determine the efficacy and safety of single agent aflibercept (VEGF Trap), a recombinant fusion protein that blocks multiple vascular endothelial growth factor isoforms, in women with gynecologic soft tissue

Primary intracranial leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are unusual tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting all age groups, and are recently, becoming more prevalent in immunosuppressive conditions such as in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, only a few
Primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an extremely rare tumor in the central nervous system (CNS), and usually seen in immunocompromised individuals. Only a few cases of primary intracranial LMS have been documented in the literature and no study focused on their MRI findings. Primary leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor in the CNS, with few reported cases. Here, we describe a case of a primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma of the tentorium cerebelli. A 43-year-old woman presented with headache, acute vision loss, and difficulty speaking. MRI revealed a large
Primary leiomyosarcomas of the central nervous system are extremely rare tumors, with few cases reported in the literature. In this article we report the case of a patient with an intracranial leiomyosarcoma of the cavernous sinus. This is the case of a 23-year-old man with a history of human
Brain metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare, and prognostically alarming despite various treatments. The authors report a case of multiple brain metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma who took a favorable course after tumor resection and γ-knife treatment. A 50-year-old woman with
A case of a 36-year-old woman with a past history of uterine leiomyosarcoma and an intracerebral metastasis is reported. The patient presented with a 24-hour history of severe headache with coma, and the CT findings were consistent with a metastatic lesion. Pathological examination of the operative
Leiomyosarcomas are malignant tumors displaying strong smooth muscle differentiation. They can often develop within the GI tract and myometrium, but are particularly rare in the head and neck. Perineurial spread of head and neck cancer is observed in patients with neoplasms of the skin (squamous
We describe the clinical, radiologic, surgical, and pathologic findings of a 29-year-old Peruvian human immunodeficiency virus-infected man with a primary parasellar meningeal leiomyosarcoma involving the left lesser esphenoidal wing and the cavernous sinus. Over a period of 13 months, he developed
