Abstract

Pulmonary leiomyomas are among the most rarely encountered benign tumors of the lung in all age groups. The endobronchial origin and occurrence in children is extremely rare for this tumor. The cases described reflect the efficacy of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of endobronchial leiomyoma encountered in children.
