Glomus tumors are uncommon benign neoplasms, which rarely occur in the trachea, usually originating from the posterior wall of the distal portion. Most of tracheal glomus tumors are located in the lower two thirds of the trachea. In this article, we present a 50-year-old male patient with a glomus tumor located on the upper third of the posterior wall of the trachea. A transoral endoscopic laser excision was performed. No finding suggesting tumoral regrowth at 36 months following surgery was found, as assessed by laryngoscopy and imaging studies.
球瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，很少发生于气管，通常起源于远端后壁。大多数气管球瘤位于气管下三分之二处。在本文中，我们报告了一名50岁男性患者，其球瘤位于气管后壁上三分之一处。实施了经口内镜激光切除术。通过喉镜检查和影像学研究评估，术后36个月未发现提示肿瘤复发的迹象。
