In this study, we want to investigate the diseased of the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. hTe retrospective analysis were performed on the clinicopathological data of 5 patients with PBML. All 5 cases were female, mean age 46.8 years old, and were found with single nodule. One case was found with letf kidney metastasis. Surgical procedures in-cludes:VATS biopsy (3 cases), resection of superior lobe of letf lung (1 case), resection of superior lobe of right lung and wedge resection of middle and inferior lobe of right lung (1 case). hTe residual nodules in lung were stable in all cases with followup 3-48 mo. PBML is dominated occurring in females with history of uterine leiomyoma, preferential to metastasize to lung, and surgery is the primary therapy.
