Abstrakt:	Benign metastasizing leiomyomatosis (BML) is a rare cause of pulmonary lesions found in reproductive age women who have undergone a hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma. Given the relative rarity of the disease, the management of these lesions varies from surgical (oopherectomy) or medical antiestrogen hormonal therapy to clinical observation and survelliance. The disease generally presents asymptomatically with multiple, well-defined pulmonary nodules discovered incidentally on imaging. We report an atypical presentation of a 46-year-old woman with incidentally found bilateral pulmonary cavitating nodules and cysts, concerning for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), who was ultimately diagnosed with BML.
