Introduction: Primary pulmonary leiomyosarcomas are a group of rare malignant tumors. They are subdivided into those originating from pulmonary parenchyma, bronchial tree, or pulmonary arteries. They tend to expand locally, and presentation depends on the site of the tumor. Diagnosis can be challenging. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and severe sepsis due to a lung mass and postobstructive pneumonia. She was diagnosed as having bilateral endobronchial primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma and treated with bilobectomy; however, she died shortly after surgery due to complications. Conclusion: Considering the rarity of her condition, this case offers a unique opportunity to investigate its presentation, diagnosis, and treatment strategies through a study of the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
