BML is exceedingly rare and can mimic malignancy, posing diagnostic challenges. We report a rare case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy for leiomyomas who presented with dyspnea and chest pain.

Breast lesions mimicked benign cysts on ultrasound, underscoring the importance of clinical and histological correlation. The patient responded well to treatment with symptom improvement. This case highlights the rare phenomenon of BML metastasizing to multiple extrauterine sites, including the breast and soft tissues, locations infrequently reported. Imaging findings, particularly in the breast, can mimic benign lesions such as simple cysts, underscoring the need for biopsy and correlation with clinical history.
