  • Title: An adult case of primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the trachea with resection of seven cartilage rings and primary reconstruction.
    Author: Miwa K, Taniguchi Y, Nakamura H.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2012 Dec; 60 Suppl 2():e19-21. PubMed ID: 23138357.
    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old female consulted a local clinic with bloody sputum and dyspnea. Bronchoscopy revealed a tumor with ∼80% stenosis in the trachea. She was referred to our hospital. Biopsy findings suggested primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the trachea. Cervical computed tomography (CT) revealed a tumor involving the 3rd to 9th tracheal cartilages. Tubular resection of the 3rd to 9th tracheal cartilages and tracheal reconstruction were performed. Finally, a pathological diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma was made. Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the trachea is extremely rare.
