    Abstract:
    We report a case of tracheal resection and primary anastomosis for adenoid cystic carcinoma using an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A 45-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of a tracheal tumor that occupied most of the tracheal lumen. In case of airway obstruction by the tracheal tumor during anesthesia and operation, we decided to use ECMO before induction of general anesthesia. Under secure respiratory control using ECMO, tracheal resection and primary anastomosis was performed. Since histopathological examination revealed microscopically positive results at the surgical margin, postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy( 60 Gy/30 Fr) was conducted. Although a tracheal tumor is a relatively rare neoplasm, careful planning and a treatment strategy are necessary with special emphasis on the location and size of tumor. In this case, ECMO made a substantial contribution to secure respiratory control during surgery.
