Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition that affects other organs out of the uterus. Recently, a few case reports in which 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been used to distinguish the malignancy have been published. Here, the authors present a case of BML with metabolic activity on PET, in which needle biopsy of the uterus was efficient to make diagnosis.
良性转移性平滑肌瘤（BML）是一种罕见的疾病，可累及子宫外的其他器官。最近，已有一些使用18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描（FDG-PET）来鉴别恶性肿瘤的病例报告发表。在此，作者报告一例PET显示有代谢活性的BML病例，其中子宫穿刺活检有助于明确诊断。
