Tracheal tumors are rare and can be difficult to diagnose due to their capacity to mimic other obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and COPD. We report the case of a female patient with a tracheal tumor. She had previously been treated for asthma and COPD, with little response to the treatment. The onset of infectious complications prompted further investigation. Chest CT images suggested the presence of a tumor, which was confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The tumor was endoscopically resected. However, the patient evolved to death due to pneumonia and septic shock.
气管肿瘤较为罕见，由于其具有模仿其他阻塞性肺部疾病（如哮喘和 COPD）的能力，因此诊断较为困难。我们报告了一例女性气管肿瘤患者。她曾因哮喘和 COPD 接受治疗，但治疗反应不佳。感染性并发症的发作促使进一步检查。胸部 CT 图像提示存在肿瘤，纤维支气管镜检查予以证实。肿瘤经内镜切除。然而，患者最终因肺炎和感染性休克而死亡。
