Benign metastasizing leiomyoma
TR Winkler, LH Burr and CL Robinson
The cases of 2 patients with benign metastasizing leiomyofibroma are
reviewed. Although extremely rare both in our experience and in the
literature, benign metastasizing leiomyofibroma is an important
differential diagnosis in young women seen with multiple lung nodules. Our
patients underwent staged thoracotomies for diagnosis and treatment, and
have experienced no evidence of recurrence over a six- year period.
