Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical feature and treatment of lung benign metastasizing leiomyoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 2 cases of lung benign metastasizing leiomyoma. Results Two cases were asymptomatic who also had previously undergone hysterectomy, but imageology revealed multiple pulmonary nodules bilaterally of various sizes. And one of them had a pelvic mass. Conclusion Lung benign metastasizing leiomyoma is a rare disease. Hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hormonal therapy may be helpful to improve the prognosis.
