Abstract:
We present the clinical course of a 56-year-old female patient with a primary tracheal leiomyosarcoma. The diagnostic approach and pathological classification of this seldom described tumour remains extremely difficult. We discuss the symptoms as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including multimodal chemotherapy with organ-preserving surgery leading to complete remission.
