    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Bronchial leiomyoma is extremely rare. Most reported have been resected by either lobectomy or pneumonectomy. We presented a case treated by sleeve bronchoplasty without pulmonary resection. CASE REPORT: The presented case, 39-year-old male, had been admitted to our hospital complaining of hemoptysis. Chest X-ray showed no abnormality in either lung field, but computed tomography scan found the tumor in the upper right bronchus. The diagnosis was made by histological and immunohistochemical examination of the specimens obtained during bronchoscopy. CONCLUSION: The presented patient was treated by thoracotomy and sleeve resection of the right upper lobe bronchus with the removal of all the tumor.
