Abstract EN
Background.
The benign metastasizing leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare entity; it presents with ectopic leiomyoma nodules with a benign pattern.
Symptoms vary according to the anatomic location.
The diagnosis is histopathological, usually in patients with history of hysterectomy.
Case Presentation.
A 36-year-old female with 2-month history of left knee pain was diagnosed with bone fibrosarcoma.
A CT scan showed pulmonary nodules.
The patient started neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Conservative surgery of pelvic limb was achieved.
A new CT scan reported pulmonary nodules that remained in relation to the previous CT.
A nodule resection by thoracotomy and TOB (transoperative biopsy) was performed.
The final pathology report described benign proliferative lesions consistent with benign metastatic leiomyoma.
Conclusions.
Benign metastatic leiomyoma is a rare condition presenting with uterine and extrauterine nodules most commonly in the lung.
The diagnosis is histopathological.
The surgical procedure must be reserved for selected patients.
