Benign metastasizing leiomyomas of the lung are rare smooth muscle cells tumours. We report the case of a 48 year-old female who was evaluated due to persistent cough, progressive dyspnoea and constitutional symptoms. Chest computed tomography revealed a left endobronchial mass, multiple parenchyma nodules and a pleural effusion. Bronchial biopsy histological features were consistent with benign metastasizing leiomyoma. The patient was successfully treated with argon-plasma and mechanical debulking. There was no disease relapse in the last four years.
肺良性转移性平滑肌瘤是罕见的平滑肌细胞肿瘤。我们报告一例48岁女性患者，因持续咳嗽、进行性呼吸困难和全身症状而接受评估。胸部计算机断层扫描显示左支气管内肿块、多个实质结节和胸腔积液。支气管活检的组织学特征与良性转移性平滑肌瘤一致。该患者接受氩等离子体和机械减瘤治疗后获得成功。在过去四年中未出现疾病复发。
