Pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary benign metastatic leiomyoma (PBML), which is very rare, is a type of benign metastatic leiomyoma (BML). Here, we report a case of PBML, finally diagnosed through multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussions, and provide a literature review of the disease. CASE SUMMARY: MDT discussions. As the patient was asymptomatic, she received long-term monitoring without treatment. A follow-up of chest HRCT after 6 mo showed that the PBML lung nodules were stable and there was no progression. CONCLUSION: For patients with a medical history of hysterectomy and uterine leiomyoma with lung nodules on chest CT, PBML should be considered during diagnosis based on the clinical history, imaging manifestations, CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture biopsy, and MDT discussions.
