Abstract

We report a case of a large symptomatic angioleiomyoma of the diaphragm. The tumor was diagnosed by computed tomography and videothoracoscopic biopsy. We removed the tumor through a left thoracolaparotomy. Three months later, a local recurrence was removed through an upper midline laparotomy. The patient remains without evidence of a recurrence 48 months after the second operation.
