Abstract
|
|
|
|
Leiomyoma of the tracheobroncheal tree is a very rare benign tumor of the lung. Airway obstructive symptoms can be similar to those of asthma; therefore, delayed or misdiagnosis is common. Although surgical resection with bronchoplastic reconstruction has long been the standard treatment, improvements in the technique have led to therapeutic bronchoscopy replacing surgery for treatment of benign tumors of the tracheobroncheal tree. We report a case of tracheal leiomyoma that was successfully resected under rigid bronchoscopy using an electrosurgical unit and bronchial snare.
