Here, we present a case report on a young female patient with a carinal leiomyoma. The patient complained of progressive dyspnea and paroxysmal cough. The laminagram and bronchoscopy revealed a lobulated carinal tumor, and carinal resection and reconstruction were performed. In this report, we will emphasize the appropriate surgical treatment for this condition.
