Leiomyosarcoma of soft tissue and pulmonary metastasis, both with osteoclast-like giant cells.

RESUMO
A case is described of leiomyosarcoma with osteoclast-like giant cells in soft tissues which metastasised to the lung. The secondary tumour also contained abundant osteoclast-like giant cells, which raises the question of whether they were locally induced or whether they metastasised with the tumour.
