title: [Metastatic benign leiomyoma in a 46-year-old woman].
abstract: Chest X-ray in a 46-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy for a uterine mass revealed a nodular opacity measuring 3 cm. Computed tomography identified 3 other nodules. Histology examination of the lung lesions identified the same configuration as that of the hysterectomy specimen performed two years earlier: benign metastatic leiomyoma. Approximately 40 cases have been reported in the literature.
