  • Title: Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea--a case report.
    Author: Paik HC, Lim SH, Lee DY, Paik SY.
    Journal: Yonsei Med J; 1996 Feb; 37(1):81-5. PubMed ID: 8967114.
    Abstract:
    An unusual tracheal tumor was found in a 50 year old male who was admitted due to mild dyspnea on exertion. Simple chest X-ray showed an abnormal mass shadow in the trachea and computerized chest tomogram revealed a tumor in the mid 1/3 of the trachea obstructing 80% of the lumen. Through a right thoracotomy incision, resection of a 2.5 cm segment of the trachea with end-to-end anastomosis was done and microscopic findings showed many cystic spaces with myxomatous hyalinous stroma. It was diagnosed as a pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea.
