Herein, we report the first case of pulmonary benign metastasizing uterine adenomyoma. It is very important to differentiate from pulmonary primary synovial sarcoma; histopathology and immunohistochemistry are very helpful, molecular pathology can be used if necessary.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>A female patient was admitted to the hospital because of pulmonary nodules. Lung computed tomography (CT) showed a nodular high density shadow in the upper lobe of the right lung, with a clear boundary and a diameter of approximately 1.2 cm. A contrast CT scan showed obvious enhancement, and no obvious lobulation or burr was found. Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of the tumor was performed. The upper lobe nodules were completely removed. Postoperative pathological report confirmed the lesion as metastatic benign adenomyoma of the right upper lung.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The lung is the most common organ for malignant tumor metastasis, and a few benign tumors can also develop pulmonary metastasis. Pulmonary benign metastasizing adenomyoma is extremely rare, and the prognosis is very good after surgical resection. When pulmonary CT shows a solid high-density shadow, we should consider the possibility of a metastatic benign tumor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2022.851147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]],"date-time":"2022-02-22T05:43:19Z","timestamp":1645508599000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case
