Abstract:

Uterine leiomyoma (LM) is a smooth muscle tumor occurring in 30% of women of reproductive age. This neoplasm is the most common benign tumor of female genitals. Uterus is the most frequent localization of tumor. However, LM can be detected in external genitalia, ovaries, bladder and urethra. Despite the benign nature, LM is characterized by metastasizing as one of the main properties of malignant neoplasms. For the first time, Steiner described this case in 1939. The author found similar histological structure of pulmonary and uterine neoplasms. LM metastases in bone tissue, skin, mediastinum, muscles, lymph nodes, omentum and retroperitoneal space are rarer. In this manuscript, we report complex treatment of benign metastasizing uterine leiomyoma followed by lung metastasis.
