Objectives: Primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma (PPL) is a rare diagnosis with poorly understood clinicopathological characteristics and disease progression. What we know is derived from limited case reports, so identification of features associated with patient survival is warranted.Materials and methods: A population cohort study was conducted using prospectively extracted data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database for patients with histological diagnoses of PPL from 1973 to 2013 including demographic, treatment and outcome data.Results: A total of 231 patients with PPL were included (mean 65.8 +/- 14.9 years-of-age). 43 were categorized with a regional stage, and 60 had localized stage, whereas 70 had distant stage. Most (60.4%) patients received cancer-directed surgery, and radiotherapy was performed for 14.1% of patients. Median overall survival (OS) was 14.0 months, and 1-, 3- and 5-year OS for PPL patients was 52.7%, 29.0% and 22.2%, respectively. Cancer directed surgery significantly improved median OS for patients with PPL by almost 29.0 months (33.0 vs 4.0 months; p
