Primary leiomyosarcoma of the lung in childhood.
Primary leiomyosarcomas of the lung and trachea are rare tumors. Only five cases have been reported in children (two of a lung, one of a mainstem bronchus, one of the carina, and one of the trachea). We report a new case in a 14-month-old boy and review the previous cases.
