ABSTRACT
Tracheal leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the smooth muscle in the tracheal wall. As in other cases of benign tracheal tumors, the obstructive symptoms due to leiomyoma are similar to those of asthma and bronchitis, and diagnostic delay is therefore common. We describe the case of a patient with leiomyoma arising from the trachea and review the literature, with particular emphasis on the two dimensional CT images.
