    Author: Sakao Y, Tomimitsu S, Takeda Y, Natsuaki M, Itoh T.
    Journal: Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2005 May; 53(5):276-9. PubMed ID: 15952323.
    Abstract:
    We experienced a rare case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) arising in the trachea. A 24-year-old man with severe dyspnea had a well-defined mass in the cervical trachea on chest X-ray examination. Chest computed tomography showed a 2.0-cm diameter mass originating in the right-posterior wall of the trachea. The tumor occupied over 90% of the lumen. A radical excision of the tumor (tracheal resection) with tracheal plasty was performed. The microscopic diagnosis was MFH. The patient remains well, without evidence of recurrence, 3 months after surgery.
