Benign metastatic leiomyoma is a unique event presenting most commonly in premenopausal women especially those with a previous history of gynecological surgery as management of uterine fibroids. In this case report, we investigate a rare case of benign metastatic leiomyoma in a 54-year-old postmenopausal female presented with a huge pelvic mass that was rapidly growing along with pulmonary nodules. The patient is suspected to have leiomyosarcoma which is eventually confirmed pathologically as benign metastatic leiomyoma. Although rare, describing the challenging diagnostic and management approach of such entity is essential and to consider it one of the differential diagnoses of patients who present with similar history.
良性转移性平滑肌瘤是一种独特的病症，最常见于绝经前女性，尤其是那些既往有过因子宫肌瘤接受妇科手术史的女性。在本病例报告中，我们研究了一例罕见的良性转移性平滑肌瘤病例，患者为一名54岁的绝经后女性，表现为巨大盆腔肿块且伴有肺部结节并迅速增大。该患者最初被怀疑患有平滑肌肉瘤，最终经病理证实为良性转移性平滑肌瘤。尽管罕见，但描述此类病症具有挑战性的诊断和管理方法至关重要，并且要将其视为具有类似病史患者的鉴别诊断之一。
