ABSTRACT
The incidence of pulmonary leiomyosarcoma as primary lung tumor is very rare. Most of the primary leiomyosarcomas originate in the hilar region in relation to the main bronchus or pulmonary vessels and only a few originate more peripherally. This rare tumor can mimic bronchial carcinoma and present with local or systemic symptoms, or it may be discovered as an incidental finding on a routine chest X-ray. We report with review of literature, a case of incidental primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma which originated peripherally. Huge mass was found on the left lung of a 61-year-old man on the chest X-ray peripherally. He underwent the surgical resection of the left pneumonectomy and the postoperative course was uneventful.
