Own clinical observations of rare pulmonary diseases related to the uterus pathology are presented. These observations reflect clinical-roentgenologic features of benign uterus leiomyoma with lung metastases, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and thoracic endometriosis. The description of three different diseases in one report is conditioned by the fact that they all have one and the same lesion of metastases, i.e. hormonally active uterus in women of reproductive age. Though these diseases are different, but they demand differential diagnostics both between each other and other disseminated pulmonary diseases. This work demonstrates the possibilities of application of multispiral computed tomography with postprocessing imaging. A lot of attention is paid to roentgen semiotics of pulmonary changes typical for each of these diseases.
