Abstract:
A case of multiple occurrences of benign metastasizing leiomyoma in the lung, left thigh, left ilium and pelvis in a 43-year-old woman who underwent twice myomectomy in 1999 and 2004 and had hysterectomy in 2009 was reported. She was complained of chest distress as well as the pain of left hip and back of thigh. Computed tomography, X-ray and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) demonstrated multiple nodules in lung, masses of left thigh and pelvis. Biopsy of these nodules indicated benign metastasizing leiomyomas according to pathologic and immunohistochemical results. The patient received gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist injection and regular follow-up. Up to now, all the symptoms have been alleviated.
