Summary:A 38-year-old woman presented with acute abdominal pain. Her history included bariatric gastric bypass surgery (3 years prior), hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomas (5 years prior), and pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (7 years prior).

Here, the authors discuss the diagnosis: pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma.
