    Abstract:
    Cystic adenoid carcinoma (CAC) of the trachea, also called cylindroma, is a rare malignant tumor accounting for 1 per thousand of all respiratory tract cancers. We report three cases of cylindroma in patients hospitalized for inspiratory dyspnea due to a tracheal tumor. Bronchoscopy using a rigid tube revealed a smooth tumor of the trachea. Pathology analysis of the biopsy specimen diagnosed CAC. The three patients underwent resection with end-to-end anastomosis. Adjuvant radiotherapy was given in one patient. The short-term outcome was good but one patient developed local recurrence and lung metastasis at six years.
