{Abstract}: Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a high-grade sarcoma that might be associated with dismal outcome. There are no hematological markers that can be used to follow up the recurrence and/or progression of the tumor. We present a case of a 44-year-old female, who was diagnosed with uterine leiomyosarcoma. During her management course, serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) elevation was correlated with clinical and radiological disease progression on two separate occasions. This correlation should be further investigated to potentially integrate serum β-hCG as a predictive tool for clinical behavior and treatment response.
