 Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a benign tumor that develops in patients with a past history of uterine myoma. Although BML is recognized as a benign tumor, metastasis to other organs, including the lungs, has been reported. We report a case of BML that metastasized to the lumbar spine. A 47-year-old female with a history of hysterectomy for a benign leiomyoma developed severe pain in the low back area and lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the lumbar region. The tumor was resected and diagnosed as BML by histological examination of the surgical specimen. Since immunohistological staining for both estrogen and progesterone receptors was positive, hormone therapy with LH-RH was performed postoperatively, and it resulted in reduction of the size of the residual tumor.
