Giant Vascularized Leiomyoma, Multidisciplinary Management: Case Report
Primary lung leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor of mesodermal origin that accounts for approximately 2% of all benign lung tumors 1. Leiomyoma is a smooth muscle neoplasm that commonly occurs in the genitourinary system and gastrointestinal tract of the body. 2 Primary pulmonary leiomyoma is rarely reported in the literature. We present the case of a 47-year-old male patient with a clinical picture of approximately 6 months of evolution characterized by NYHA III dyspnea, adynamia, asthenia, and mild pain in the left costal grid. A chest CT scan was requested, which reported a solid left pulmonary mass of 24 x 13 cm that compromises 80% of the highly vascularized left hemithorax.
