[Primary benign schwanomma in trachea].

We report a rare case of a primary schwanomma in trachea causing airway symptoms in a 78-year-old male. Benign tracheal tumours are often misdiagnosed as asthma or chronic lung disease and should be considered in patients who present with symptoms as upper airway obstruction and haemoptysis. In this case story the patient was treated with endoscopic resection of the tumour.
