Upper airway obstruction secondary to acinic cell carcinoma of the trachea. Use of Nd:YAG laser

M A Ansari et al. Chest. 1996 Oct.

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.
