  ABSTRACT: Primary leiomyoma of the trachea is a rare disease which is of smooth muscle in origin. Presenting symptoms depend on the location and size of the tumor. Here we are presenting a 45-year-old female, who was misdiagnosed and being treated for bronchial asthma presented to our institution with stridor. Her x-ray and Computed Tomography of neck showed tracheal mass & biopsy reported leiomyoma. Objective of this presentation is to report tracheal leiomyoma which is a rare clinical entity and how endoscopic resection of the tumor with diode laser helped us in attaining complete resection of tumor with minimal intra-operative and post-operative complications.
