Concurrent benign leiomyomas in heart, lung, and abdomen: a case report
This case shows the rare potential of benign metastasizing leiomyoma to involve vital organs such as the heart and lungs. It highlights the need for vigilance and timely evaluation of new symptoms rather than routine multi-organ screening in all patients with uterine leiomyomas. Notably, we identified a rare subtype of this tumor that exhibits aggressive characteristics.
