We present a 61-year-old man with a glomus tumor of the trachea. To our knowledge, this is the 6th reported case in the literature. The patient was asymptomatic, and bronchoscopic examination revealed a highly vascular polypoid mass about 6.0 cm above the bifurcation of the trachea. We undertook a sleeve resection of the trachea with end to end anastomosis through a right posterolateral thoracotomy. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. The tumor was 1.2 cm in diameter and was composed of glomus cells, which resembled to modified smooth muscle cells, ultrastructurally.
我们报告一例61岁患有气管球瘤的男性患者。据我们所知，这是文献中报道的第6例病例。患者无症状，支气管镜检查发现气管隆突上方约6.0 cm处有一个高度血管化的息肉样肿物。我们通过右后外侧开胸进行了气管袖状切除术并端端吻合。患者术后恢复顺利。肿瘤直径为1.2 cm，由球瘤细胞组成，超微结构上类似于改良的平滑肌细胞。
