Abstract
Uterine leiomyosarcomas are malignant tumors that have a grim prognosis. These neoplasms have a high metastatic potential. Limited literature exists on leiomyosarcoma metastasizing to the thyroid. This case emphasizes the importance of considering metastasis as a possible cause for thyroid swelling in patients with a history of malignancy.
