Benign Metastasizing #Leiomyoma of the Lung: Lesion Regression after #Surgical Ovariectomy by Rocco Delfanti in BJSTR

Abstract

#Benignmetastasizingleiomyomas are a rare disease occurring in the lung of #pre-menopausal women with a history of benign #leiomyoma of the #uterus; they are discovered incidentally because often asymptomatic and should be differentiated from low grade uterus sarcoma. Tumor cells are positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors so therapy is based on ovarian hormonal suppression, performed chemically or by #surgicalovariectomy. We present the case of a 40-year old woman with a history of benign uterine leiomyoma who was admitted to the Oncological Department to investigate the presence of solid nodules in lungs, found accidentally on chest radiogram. She underwent to hysterectomy and bilateral #ovariectomy; specimen confirmed only the persistence of benign uterine leiomyoma.
