Tóm tắt

Pulmonary leiomyosarcomas can be highly vascular tumours which provide a challenge in their management. Computerised Tomography (CT) scan of a 27 year old gentleman demonstrated a vascular 12 × 10 cm tumour in the region of middle lobe. We proceeded with a right pneumonectomy after embolization of the major feeder vessels to the tumour.
