“…They can originate from the mediastinum [3] or from the upper [4] or lower [5] respiratory tract. Leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas are commonly seen in the urogenital system [6] and occasionally the gastrointestinal tract [7,8], but are uncommon in the respiratory tract [3][4][5]9]. However, the existence and diagnostic criteria of smooth muscle tumor arising in the pleura have been controversial, and there are only sporadic case reports.…”

Primary smooth muscle tumor of the pleura is exceptionally rare. The authors describe a primary smooth muscle tumor of the pleura that was discovered incidentally on chest X-ray in a 73-year-old man. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 12 x 18 x 15-cm pleura-based mass arising from the posterior mediastinum. Computerized tomography (CT) guided needle cores from the pleura showed a primary smooth muscle tumor of undetermined malignant potential. Further excision of the whole tumor showed an intimate relation to pleura, and the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was made. The clinical, radiological, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastuctural findings were consistent with a primary smooth muscle tumor of the pleura. This is the seventh case in the literature of a primary smooth muscle tumor of the pleura, which, to the best of the authors' knowledge, is the first such case of the pleura to be diagnosed on CT-guided needle biopsy. In conclusion, this method of investigation is recommended since it is minimally invasive but has a rewarding yield in providing the most likely diagnosis, predicting prognosis, and management planning.

“…endoscopic samples cannot always differentiate between leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma. Therefore, wider surgical resection is sometimes necessary [13] . In pathologic examination, spindle-shaped cells are evident, and Immunohistochemistry can aid definite histologic diagnosis [14] .…”

“…Endobronchial leiomyomas are rare benign tumors derived from the smooth muscle layer of the bronchi, bronchioles, or blood vessels ( 1 ) that account for 3% of all benign endobronchial tumors ( 2 ). Considering their rarity, systematic studies on the sex and age distribution, tumor location within the airway, growth patterns, and pathological classifications are lacking.…”

Endobronchial leiomyomas are uncommon benign tracheobronchial tumors. Bronchoscopic intervention is a safe and effective strategy for patients with contraindications for surgery or refusal to undergo surgery. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used to treat early gastrointestinal tumors. The novel hybrid knife is useful during ESD owing to functions of submucosal injections, lesion dissection and hemostasis, and makes ESD more convenient. Here, we report a case of a benign leiomyoma at the orifice of RB7 in an adolescent boy. The diagnosis was confirmed based on bronchoscopic and pathological findings. The patient was successfully treated with combined electrocautery snare and cryoresection, ESD using a hybrid knife and the wound was managed with argon plasma coagulation. The postoperative course was satisfactory, with a good general condition and no severe respiratory symptoms. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of ESD using a hybrid knife to treat an endobronchial leiomyoma in an adolescent patient.
