Angioleiomyoma is a benign soft tissue tumor which rarely develops in the respiratory tract. Here we report a case of a 51-year-old female with an angioleiomyoma developed in the left upper lobar bronchial branch and extended to the left main stem bronchus, causing non-specific symptoms, and not visible on the chest x-ray exam. The suspected diagnosis was established by High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and confirmed by the histological evaluation of the endoscopically removed lesion.

Abstract
Angioleiomyoma is a benign soft tissue tumor which rarely develops in the respiratory tract. Here we report a case of a 51-year-old female with an angioleiomyoma developed in the left upper lobar bronchial branch and extended to the left main stem bronchus, causing non-specific symptoms, and not visible on the chest x-ray exam. The suspected diagnosis was established by High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and confirmed by the histological evaluation of the endoscopically removed lesion.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
