Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma of Lung / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare entity, characterized by the occurrence of multiple smooth muscle nodules in the lung with histologically benign leiomyoma. Both the uterine and pulmonary tumors have been found to express estrogen and progesterone receptors, which suggest that the pulmonary lesions represented metastases from leiomyoma. We experienced a 41-year-old female patient with BML and report here with the literature review.
