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.
