Abstract
We describe 2 cases of pulmonary atelectasis and obstructive pneumonitis due to metastasis to the main bronchi from leiomyosarcoma of the uterus in one of the patients and leiomyosarcoma of the thigh in the other. Both patients were treated with endoscopic resection. We discuss the role of endoscopic laser treatment in the palliation of symptoms and as an initial procedure before other cancer treatments are started.
