  • Title: Tumour-induced intraluminal stenoses of the cervical trachea--tumour excision and tracheoplasty.
    Author: Daum R, Denecke HJ, Roth H.
    Journal: Prog Pediatr Surg; 1987; 21():50-7. PubMed ID: 3107073.
    Abstract:
    Three children with stenoses of the cervical trachea caused by tumours are reported on. The first was a 13-year-old girl with a sarcoma of the tracheal wall 20 cm down. We performed partial resection of the trachea and turned a skin flap according to Denecke into the defect. In the second case a capillary haemangioma had caused severe stenosis, requiring resection of the tumour together with the tracheal mucosa. A haemangioma had caused tracheal stenosis in the third case, too; in this child partial tracheal resection and skin flap plasty were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful in all three children. So far, there is no recurrence of the sarcoma 4 1/2 years after operation.
