Benign metastasizing leiomyoma is a rare condition with unknown causes, possibly due to metastasis or multicentric growths. This case highlights diagnostic challenges due to complex patient history.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare entity.
  • Its pathophysiology remains unclear, with two main theories: metastasis or multicentric growths.

Observation:

  • Presents a unique case of BML.
  • Patient history complicated the differential diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Discusses the differential diagnosis of BML.
  • Highlights the challenges in diagnosing rare tumors.

Implications:

  • Contributes to understanding BML pathophysiology.
  • Informs clinical diagnosis and management of rare leiomyomas.
