Endobronchial Leiomyoma Presenting as Post-Obstructive Pneumonia.

Abstract

Endobronchial leiomyoma is a rare airway tumour. We report the case of a 30-year-old female non-smoker who presented with persistent fever and cough, ultimately diagnosed with post-obstructive pneumonia secondary to an endobronchial leiomyoma. The patient underwent a successful endobronchial cryo-resection with the resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the importance of considering rare causes of non-resolving pneumonia and the role of a minimally invasive approach in the management of endobronchial leiomyoma.
