Abstract:
Pulmonary leiomyomas are the least common benign tumors of the lung. These tumors originate from smooth muscles of the bronchial walls, peripheral small airways, or from perivascular smooth muscles. It is reported that the diagnosis of the tumor has been established bronchoscopically and proved with thoracotomy. The characteristics of the tumor and treatment modalities are discussed.
