Intracranial leiomyosarcoma: a neuro-oncological consequence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

abstract：:Patients with metastatic well-differentiated thyroid cancer have a generally favorable long-term outcome although multi-organ involvement is a known marker of poor prognosis. Brain metastases are rare, occurring in less than 1% of patients with thyroid cancer. Few patients have been managed with stereotactic radiosurg...
