Angioleiomyoma is a benign soft-tissue tumor that rarely develops in the respiratory tract. Here, we report a case of a 51-year-old female with an angioleiomyoma developed in the left lobar bronchial branch and extended to the left principal bronchus, causing nonspecific symptoms, and not visible on the chest X-ray examination. The suspected diagnosis was established by high-resolution computed tomography and confirmed by the histological evaluation of the endoscopically removed lesion.

Angioleiomyomas are rare airway tumours with potential to cause central airway obstruction or haemoptysis. Methods described to manage them include surgical resection, or rigid bronchoscopy and thermal ablation techniques. We describe a case presenting with central airway obstruction, safely and effectively treated with cryoextraction of the tumour using flexible bronchoscopy.
