[A case of multiple pulmonary leiomyomatous hamartoma].
A 45-year-old woman with multiple pulmonary leiomyomatous hamartoma was reported. Multiple round shadows were observed in the chest X-ray film of mass examination. Retrospectively chest X-ray films revealed an increase in size and number of pulmonary nodules in three years. Metastatic pulmonary tumors were suspected. Primary site was unclear. Calcified myoma uteri was recognized. The pathological diagnosis under diagnostic thoracotomy was multiple leiomyomatous hamartoma. After ten months of medical castration using superactive analogue of LHRH (buserelin) by intranasal spray, chest X-ray film showed a slight decrease in size of nodular shadows in the right middle lung field.
