Supports considering benign metastasizing leiomyoma in cardiac tumor differentials after uterine leiomyoma; case report leaves optimal management open.
Consamus et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Benign metastasizing leiomyoma to the heart (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Survival and metastasis recurrence. Surgical resection of a benign metastasizing leiomyoma to the heart resulted in the patient being alive and well with no evidence of further metastasis at 16 months follow-up.
