It is characterised by the development of benign tumours corresponding to leiomyomas that spread to other organs, especially the lungs.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We report the case of an incidental diagnosis due to SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A 54-year-old female patient with a history of hysterectomy 20 years earlier due to uterine leiomyoma. She visited the emergency department for acute cough and fever and was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. A chest X-ray showed multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules compatible with metastases. For this reason, a chest CT scan was performed, which showed the presence of multiple nodular lesions of different sizes and densities suggestive of a neoplastic process. The work-up was completed with an abdominal CT scan, which detected the presence of solid nodules involving the psoas muscles and a peritoneal nodule in the hypogastrium.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding the SARS-CoV-2 infection, the patient had a favourable progression. She was referred to the outpatient clinic in order to complete the work-up. A new chest-abdominal CT scan was performed a month later, which confirmed countless nodules and pulmonary masses suggestive of metastasis. Stability of the nodule in the greater omentum and of the nodules located in the muscular compartment of both proximal limbs were observed. Bone lesions that could correspond to metastases were identified. Soft tissue ultrasound of both legs showed multiple solid lesions.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Paradoxically, the patient showed an excellent clinical condition at all times, reporting that she had been feeling tumours in her legs for years. It was decided to complete the study with a PET-CT (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>), which reported uptake in the bilateral pulmonary nodules, the mediastinal lymph nodes, the hypogastric mesenteric node, the right quadriceps muscle node and another next to the left femur.

Anatomical pathology evidenced an encapsulated tumour consisting of smooth muscle fibres, with no obvious cytological atypia or areas of necrosis. The cells expressed actin, desmin and h-caldesmon. They were negative for CD34, S100 and CD117. The Ki67 cell proliferation index was 1%. Immunohistochemical determination for oestrogen and progesterone receptors was positive. Therefore, the mass was identified as a leiomyoma and the overall diagnosis was benign metastatic leiomyomatosis.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Benign metastatic leiomyomatosis is a rare disease, one of the forms of extrauterine leiomyomatosis,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> along with the intravenous form, disseminated and hereditary peritoneal leiomyomatosis.
