Description

A rare case of tracheal pleomorphic adenoma is reported . The patient was a 24-year-old female who had complained of stridor after running for about one year . As a bronchial asthma, she had received the drug by some doctor, but no relief had been obtained.<BR>On June, 1982, a tracheal tumor with a pink submucosal cherry-sized mass originating from the tracheal wall on the right side was diagnosed by both tomography and fiberscope. Under an extratracheal approach following a preliminary tracheostomy, the tumor excision without any tracheal cartilage resection could be done successfully, because no malignancy was revealed histologically by a frozen section.<BR>The diagnostic and therapeutic importance of tomography and flexible fiberscopy in the pa -tients with unknown stridor was stressed.<BR>Pleomorphic adenoma in the tracheal benign tumors is extremely rare and there have been no reported case of this tumor recorded in the Japanese literatures.
