“…5 Lung leiomyomas may be intraparenchymal, endotreacheal or endobronchial locations (approximately 33% of all pulmonary leiomyomas). 6 Because of their location, patients with these types of tumors often presents with respiratory symptoms that mimic signs and symptoms of asthma, but if they grow enough the obstructive condition may results in atelectasis and pulmonary infection as in our case. Some cases may be associated with chronic cough and hemoptysis that prompt the physician for obtaining a chest X-ray or performing a flexible or rigid bronchoscopy.…”

“…Regardless of the severity of the symptoms or obstructive bronchial features, the treatment of endobronchial leiomyomas, implies resection. Commonly used conservative endoscopic techniques include electrocautery, argon plasma coagulation, cryotherapy, and laser, all with good, documented results [6,10]. In the reported case, the patient showed no evidence of recurrence at a five year follow-up post-cryotherapy.…”

Endobronchial leiomyomas are rare benign tumors, accounting for less than 2% of all benign lung tumors. Known to arise from the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree, leiomyomas occur in parenchymal, endotracheal, or endobronchial locations. Endobronchial lesions constitute about 33% of all pulmonary leiomyomas. Literature on primary endobronchial leiomyomas is extremely limited. Symptomatology depends on the degree of endoluminal bronchial obstruction.We report a case of 71-year-old woman admitted to our hospital complaining of persistent non-productive cough. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a rounded tumor arising in the right upper lobe bronchus which subsequently underwent bronchoscopy and tissue sampling for definitive treatment. We also describe the cytological characteristics of endobronchial pulmonary leiomyoma.

“…Because it was first described by Forkel in 1910, there have been less than 100 reported cases until 2009 . It constitutes less than 2% of all cases of pulmonary benign tumors . Endobronchial leiomyoma accounts for 33–45% of primary pulmonary leiomyoma .…”
