Simultaneous lung and liver resection for primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma.
We report on a patient with primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma and hepatic metastasis who was treated successfully with a single-stage surgical operation. As a cure for primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma has only been achieved by surgical resection, primary radical treatment should be considered, even in advanced cases having distant metastases which are expected to be resectable.
