| Popis: | We experienced a case of intrabronchial leiomyoma which was successfully resected by laser therapy. A 71-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of severe coughing and dyspnea. Bronchoscopy showed a pedunculated polyp in the entrance of the left basal bronchus. The polyp was resected by laser therapy throught a bronchoscope under general anesthesia. The day after the operation, the wheezing of the left lung ceased. Bronchoscopy showed that the left basal bronchus opened completely. There was a remarkable improvement in the %VC and FEV1% after the operation. (from 69.51 and 73.11 to 80.2 and 91.67 respectively) Histopathologically the polyp was leiomyoma and a special stain was confirmatory. Intrabronchial leiomyoma is a comparatively rare desease, so we reported this case, together with a review of the literature. |
