Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare cause of pulmonary nodules. They can occur in women of reproductive age who have undergone hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma.
We report the case of a 46-year-old women, who was incidentally found to have bilateral pulmonary cavitating nodules. Pathology exam was consistent with BML.
Although BML is a rare cause of pulmonary nodules, it should be considered as one of the possibilities especially in young women with a history of hysterectomy for leiomyoma.
良性转移性平滑肌瘤(BML)是肺结节的一种罕见病因。它可发生于因子宫平滑肌瘤接受子宫切除术的育龄女性。
我们报告一例46岁女性病例,该患者偶然发现双侧肺有空洞性结节。病理检查结果符合BML。
尽管BML是肺结节的罕见病因,但尤其对于有子宫平滑肌瘤子宫切除病史的年轻女性,应将其视为可能病因之一。
