Benign metastasizing leiomyoma, a rare imposter of metastatic cervical cancer

Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare variant of common benign smooth muscle neoplasm. We report a case of BML in a 45-year-old premenopausal woman with a significant smoking history and no previous history of cervical cancer screening. The patient presented with vaginal bleeding, abdominal...
