A Rare Case of Tracheal Leiomyoma: Role of Digital Tomosynthesis in Diagnosis and Treatment

Tracheal leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor, which is composed of transformed cells of mesenchymal origin. We describe a case in which digital tomosynthesis was useful to evaluate a tracheal tumor that was overlooked on initial chest radiographs.
