Description
Summary:Primary leiomyosarcoma of the lung is an unusual malignant tumor. Among this entity, the endobronchial form is very rare and the preoperative diagnosis is extremely difficult. We present two different presentations and outcomes of primary endobronchial leiomyosarcoma of the lung. In both cases, the histological study and the immunohistochemical stain, of the surgical resection, provided the final diagnosis. Through those cases we present the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties encountered.
