초록
저자들은 과거력상 자궁절제술을 시술받은 환자에서 우연히 발견된 다발성 폐결절을 경피적 폐생검술을 시행하여 폐를 침범한 '양성 전이성 폐 평활근종증' 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
A benign metastasizing pulmonary leiomyomatosis(BMPL) is a rare and uncommon variety of leiomyoma. BML affects middle-aged women who had a previous hysterectomy due to a histologically benign appearing leiomyoma. BMPL is characterized by asymptomatic multiple smooth muscle nodules with a less aggressive course than a leiomyosarcoma. A 45-year-old woman who had a hysterectomy for a uterine leiomyoma 4 years prior to this study presented with multiple variable-sized lung nodule. A percutaneous needle biopsy confirmed the benign metastasizing pulmonary leiomyomatosis. Here, we present this case with a review of the relevant literatures.
