Abstract
|
|
|
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tracea is rare, but is a very serious critical life-threatening disease. Nearly all the lesions of the trachea are presented as obstructive lesions. Bronchoscopic examination including chest CT, tomogram and air
tracheogram are essential for the further definition of these lesions. This is a case report of adenoid cystic carcinoma in a 47 years old male patient. The tumor was located in cervical trachea with wide base and obstructing the lumen almost
completely. The patient's symptom was productive cough and hoarseness for 4 months. The tumor was resected and End-to-End anastomosed. The tumor was confirmed to be adenoid cystic carcinoma histopathologically. The need for removal of tracheal
tumor
whether complete or incomplete, is clear enough regardless of the histology of the tumor. This patient was treated post-operatively with radiation. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:501-504)
