    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 43-year-old man who underwent an extended resection of the lower trachea for primary chondroma. Tracheal chondroma is a rare benign disease, arising from the cartilaginous rings, that grows intra-luminally or extends through the tracheal wall determining an obstructing syndrome. The endoscopy may be useful for diagnosis and palliative treatment, but the tracheal resection is recommended because the risk of recurrence or malignant transformation.
