The aim of this report is report the longest survival in a metastatic stage. We report a case of primary thyroid leiomyosarcoma with liver metastases in a young adult, who underwent surgery of the thyroid, and chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel and gemcitabine with good tolerance. The patient has 2-year survival until the last follow-up.
