    Abstract:
    Comprising 1 to 4% of all tumors and 7 to 15% of malignant neoplasms of the major salivary glands, acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) rarely occurs in the respiratory tract. There has been only one case of ACC of the trachea previously reported in the medical literature. A second case of ACC of the trachea associated with upper airway obstruction and its management by Nd: YAG laser and surgical resection is reported.
