Case report: Successful bronchoscopic interventional treatment of endobronchial leiomyomas.
Endobronchial leiomyomas are rare benign neoplasms of the lungs that arise from the smooth muscle cells of the bronchi and bronchioles. While surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for these tumors, bronchoscopic interventional therapies are also effective and can help preserve lung function in certain cases. A 40-year-old male patient presented with a persistent cough and sputum production for over 4 months. A chest computed tomography scan revealed nodular lesions in the lower lobe bronchus, later confirmed as an endobronchial leiomyoma. The patient refused surgical intervention and opted for minimally invasive bronchoscopic treatments, including electric snare resection, argon plasma coagulation, and balloon dilation, resulting in a successful outcome with no recurrence during follow-up. Clinicians should consider bronchoscopic interventions as a viable treatment option for endobronchial leiomyomas patients who are either ineligible for surgical resection or opt not to undergo surgery.
