Benign metastasizing leiomyomas thought to be nodal metastases in  a case of ovarian cancer

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecologic tumors in women of reproductive age and represent the most common indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women. In rare instances, these tumors occur outside of the uterine corpus and are referred to as ‘benign metastasizing leiomyomas’ (BMLs) [1].
