Bronchial leiomyoma is a rare disease in children. Recently, the association of leiomyoma and HIV infection was reported. We describe a boy with a cellular immunodeficiency, who had endobronchial leiomyoma. The tumor cells were positive for Epstein‐Barr virus‐encoded RNA‐1 (EBER‐1) and Epstein‐Barr virus‐determined nuclear antigen‐2, suggesting a role of Epstein‐Barr virus in the pathogenesis of leiomyoma.
