Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Metastasizing benign leiomyoma is an extrauterine smooth muscle tumour. Leiomyoma in spine is extremely rare. We report a case of a 47-year-old female with benign leiomyoma metastasizing to the spine. To our knowledge no case of benign leiomyoma metastasizing to the spine has been reported before. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed C6, C7 vertebral involvement, T2, T4, T7, T8, T11, L2, L3, L4, L5 moderate spinal canal stenosis and cord impingement and cord compression at T12 level. She also presented with growth over her right elbow and psoas muscle.
