Benign metastasizing leiomyoma is a rare diagnosis in women with history of uterine leiomyomata. Distant metastasis may occur anywhere but is most commonly seen to the lungs. The age of presentation is often young to mid age, with patients often having a history of hysterectomy or myomectomy for uterine leiomyomata. The clinical course of these patients is most often indolent. However, the size and number of nodules can result in pulmonary symptoms. Differentiating benign metastasizing leiomyoma from malignant metastatic disease, including from leiomyosarcoma, is important to avoid unnecessary procedures or delayed treatment. The treatment with hormonal suppression is often successful for decreasing the size of lesions and alleviating pulmonary symptoms.
