Abstract:
Bronchial leiomyoma with atelectasis in the left lower lobe occurred in a 44-year-old woman. The leiomyoma was diagnosed by bronchofiberscopy, and left lower sleeve lobectomy was performed. The histopathology of the tumor revealed a leiomyoma with no evidence of malignancy. An early accurate diagnosis is thought to be important for a more conservative treatment.
