  • Title: Primary neurilemoma of the trachea.
    Author: Pang LC.
    Journal: South Med J; 1989 Jun; 82(6):785-7. PubMed ID: 2734643.
    Abstract:
    I have described two cases of tracheal neurilemoma. In one, the tumor was removed by tracheal sleeve resection; in the other, endoscopic electroresection was done, followed by coagulation. Tracheal neurilemomas are exceedingly rare. Most are located in the lower trachea, and cause cough and wheezing. They usually have a very long natural history, causing symptoms only after they have attained a considerable size. Endoscopic or surgical removal yields good results.
