Article information

El leiomioma benigno metastatizante es una variedad infrecuente de los leiomionias, que son tumores derivados del tejido muscular liso. El leiomioma pulmonar benigno metastatizante afecta a mujeres de edad media, con antecedentes de leiomioma uterino, siendo la afectación pulmonar en forma de nodulos múltiples sin afectación sistémica. Presentamos tres casos de leiomioma pulmonar benigno metastatizante en los cuales se realizó el diagnóstico por toracotomía, y en uno de ellos el marcador para receptores estrogénicos fue positivo.

The bening metastazing leiomyoma is an uncommon variety of leiomyoma, tumor derived from sniooth muscular tissue. The bening metastasizing leiomyoma affects a middie age women, with antecedents of uterine leiomyoma, the pulmonary lesions appeared as a múltiple nodules, without sistemic affectation. We present three cases of bening metastasizing leiomyoma that de diagnosis was made for biopsy by thoractotomy; and in one case the markers from strogens’ receivers were positive.
