Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors that originate from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells. The trachea is an unusual site for paragangliomas. A 29-years-old female was admitted to our clinic with complaints of recurrent hemoptysis and dyspnea, and a 1.5x1.3 cm mass in the posterior wall of the trachea, which was subsequently diagnosed as a paraganglioma. In this report, we presented the 11th case of tracheal paraganglioma, a rare benign tracheal tumor, and reviewed the medical literature.
副神经节瘤是起源于肾上腺外嗜铬细胞的神经内分泌肿瘤。气管是副神经节瘤的一个不寻常发病部位。一名29岁女性因反复咯血和呼吸困难就诊于我院，气管后壁有一个1.5×1.3厘米的肿块，随后被诊断为副神经节瘤。在本报告中，我们介绍了第11例气管副神经节瘤，一种罕见的气管良性肿瘤，并复习了医学文献。
