Abstract
- A 56 year old female patient was found to have a lung mass in the right upper lobe lobe during evaluation for cough and sputum. The mass had grown slightly over the past 6 months when she was admitted for an operation. Preoperative studies revealed the benign nature of the tumor, and a thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the diagnosis was histologically proven to be pulmonary leiomyoma which is a rare type of benign lung tumor.
