Article information

Los autores presentan un caso de leiomioma pulmonar, tumor benigno de escasa frecuencia. A propósito de ello realizan una revisión de la literatura, encontrando tan sólo 73 casos descritos, ninguno de ellos en la literatura nacional. Señalan su lugar dentro de todos los tumores benignos pulmonares (2%) y realizan una clasificación topográfica (traqueales, bronquiales y parenquimatosos) esencial para la comprensión de sus manifestaciones clínicas y para la elección del tratamiento adecuado.

We present a case of pulmonary leiomyoma, a benign tumor which has a low frequency. We have reviewed the current relevant literature and we have found only 73 reported cases, none of them in the national literature. We outstand its incidence within all the benign tumors of the lung (2%) and carry out a topographic classification (tracheal, bronchial and parenchymatous) which is critical in the understanting of its clinical features and in establishing an adequate treatment.
