Hello All,

Thank you all in advance for your assistance.

From the NIH website: "Benign metastasizing leiomyomas are rare tumors, which are typically found in the lungs and, thus, might be confused with leiomyosarcomas. Further, it is not clear whether the term “benign metastasizing leiomyoma” is a misnomer and whether these lesions actually represent low-grade malignant tumors that have a low proliferation index"

I would code it to behavior uncertain.
