Abstract

|
|
|
Primary tumors of trachea are rather uncommon, and few cases of direct surgical excision were reported in the literature. Recently we had the opportunity to see a patient with a benign obstructing tumor of the trachea which was confirmed as fibroma. The patient has complained of intermittent dyspnea, especially during inspiratory phase, dry cough and wheezing of a strident character for last 8 years. Bronchoscopy or bronchography were not attempted because of severe dyspnea. Trachea tomogram revealed oval mass at the terminal trachea. The right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed. Tumor, 2.5×1.7cm in size, was located at terminal trachea and removed through right lateral tracheotomy without difficulty. Postoperatively all the symptoms and signs disappeared.
