Case Presentation: A 75-year-old woman underwent a scheduled abdominal total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for suspected endometrial cancer.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and toxicity of oral administration of tegafur-uracil (UFT) at a high dose, 600 mg/day, based on the tegafur dose, against uterine cervical cancer.
Methods: This study consisted of a retrospective analysis. From April 1986 to March 1997, 309 patients with uterine cervical cancer were registered.
We report a rare, simultaneous occurrence of benign metastasizing leiomyoma in the lung and retroperitoneum in a 49-year-old woman who had previously undergone myomectomy at 35 years of age and hysterectomy at 45 years of age for multiple recurrences of histologically benign uterine leiomyomas. At 49 years of age, computed tomography-guided biopsy indicated benign metastasizing leiomyomas in the lung. In addition, a retroperitoneal leiomyoma was found that was resected along with both the ovaries via laparotomy.

Intracystic excrescences appeared in the left ovarian endometriotic cyst at five weeks and three days of gestation. The serum CA-125 level rose to 676.
