A case is presented with spontaneous expectoration of a small piece of solid tissue. Pathologic examination of the expectorated tissue was found to be consistent with leiomyosarcoma. After further work-up, there was no evidence of another primary site of leiomyosarcoma except for the right lower lobe. Right lower lobectomy was performed. The surgical specimen showed a tumor that was histologically identical to the patient's previous expectorated tissue. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of partial expectoration of a primary endobronchial leiomyosarcoma.
本文报告一例咳出小块实性组织的病例。咳出组织的病理检查结果与平滑肌肉瘤相符。进一步检查后，除右下叶外，未发现平滑肌肉瘤的其他原发部位。遂行右下叶切除术。手术标本显示肿瘤在组织学上与患者之前咳出的组织相同。据作者所知，这是原发性支气管内平滑肌肉瘤部分咳出的首例报告。
