Malignant tumor of the trachea in children: diagnostic pitfalls and surgical management

Rodrigo Luiz Pinto Romão et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2009 Nov.

Abstract

Primary tracheal malignant neoplasms are very rare. Histologically, squamous cell and adenoid cystic carcinomas are the most common types of malignant primary tracheal tumors when all age groups are studied. In the past 5 years, we treated 2 children with tracheal mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Herein we report both cases and review the literature on the subject with particular emphasis on diagnosis and surgical management.
