We report the case of a 52-year old post-menopausal woman in whom the finding of a right paravertebral mediastinal and pulmonary mass and a homolateral pleural effusion revealed the presence of a large uterine tumour. Pleural fluid cytology was in favour of an undifferentiated tumour, and biopsy of the endometrium pointed to a connective tissue tumour. Following immunohistochemical staining, hysterectomy combined with adnexectomy confirmed the diagnosis of uterine sarcoma. Later on, the patient underwent thoracoscopy which showed multiple pleural metastases. In view of concordant histological results and of the appearance of multiple spherical images at radiology, chemotherapy with adriamycin, ifosfamide and vincristine was instituted but proved to be ineffective: the patient died after two cycles of this therapeutic regimen.
