Benign metastasizing leiomyoma: a rare cause of multiple pulmonary nodules.

Aparna S Rege1, Justin A Snyder, Walter J Scott.   

Abstract

Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare cause of pulmonary nodules that occurs when uterine leiomyomas metastasize to the lung. The management of these lesions varies from resection and hysterectomy to nonsurgical treatments such as hormonal therapy. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman with multiple nodules of the right lung identified during preoperative imaging before her hysterectomy for uterine fibroids.
