Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare pathological process associated with pelvic leiomyoma. We present two cases of BML that are associated with giant pulmonary metastasis. BML is a rare benign metastatic phenomenon that could easily be mistaken for malignant neoplasms. Both cases occurred in middle-aged women who presented with cough and dyspnea. They previously underwent hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma. After history taking, computed tomography, integrated PET/computed tomography and pathological assessment, a multidisciplinary treatment was offered for the diagnosis of BML. Physicians should consider BML among the differential diagnoses in women of reproductive age with a history of uterine leiomyoma presenting with pulmonary nodules, and accurate histopathological analysis should be made.
