Abstract

The association of neuroleptic malignant syndrome with neoplasia has not been previously reported. We report the case of a 64‐year‐old female patient who developed the classical picture of neuroleptic malignant syndrome in relation to a uterine leiomyosarcoma. This raises the question as to whether a biological predisposition exists in patients who develop neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
