[Multiple metastases of a benign leiomyoma. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature. Pathogenic concepts and therapeutic stance].

The authors report a rare unusual case of fibroleiomyoma of the uterus which which recurred and which had metastases in the peritoneum, the abdominal wall and in the lungs. They review the international literature and the various hypotheses that have been mentioned in it to try to explain how fibroleiomyomata can metastasise. They suggest that aggressive therapy should be used in spite of the benign character of the fibroma and of the matastases.
