Leiomiomatosis benigna pulmonar metastatizante

Abstract

Pulmonary benign metastasising leiomyomatosis is an uncommon disease characterized by the presence of pulmonary leiomyomas, in the absence of malignancy criteria in a patient with previous uterin leiomyomatosis. The disease is very uncommon and should be considered amongst the differential diagnosis of pulmonary benign tumors. Due to the challenge that represents to health care providers specialized in respiratory pathology in the diagnosis and management of these type of patients, we present the case of a patient with hysterectomy for uterin myomatosis in which the diagnosis of pulmonary benign metastasising leiomyomatosis was established and treated successfully.
