Esophageal and anorectal leiomyomatosis association is exceedingly rare. It's characterized by a benign smooth muscle cell proliferation in respectively esophageal and anorectal walls, causing circumferential thickening. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported pulmonary BML case associated with esophageal and anorectal leiomyomatosis in a 20-year-old female.
