Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma of the Lung with Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma of the Lung with Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Abstract A 47-year-old woman was admitted with recurrent pneumothorax. Preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) showed multiple lung nodules and cysts bilaterally. She had undergone enucleatic myomectomy 12 years earlier. Video-associated thoracoscopic biopsy was performed. Histopathologically, t...
