Abstract

Leiomyoma of the bronchus is a very rare benign tumor of the lung. Most endobronchial leiomyomas have been treated by lobectomy or pneumonectomy because of their chronic infection or advanced parenchymal destruction. We report a case of endobronchial leiomyoma originated in the left main bronchus; removed by bronchoscopic LASER tumor resection which is useful for sparing lung parenchyme without any complication.

Key Words: Bronchus, Leiomyoma
