We present a surgical case of a rare primary tracheal tumor. In a 44-year-old asymptomatic man, computed tomography (CT), performed as part of health check-up, revealed a tumor measuring 1.5 cm in diameter in the mediastinal trachea. Biopsy failed to yield a definitive diagnosis, but the tumor tended to grow rapidly; therefore, surgery was performed. Five tracheal rings were resected through median sternotomy, followed by interrupted suture with 3-0 absorbable thread. The postoperative course has been favorable with no evidence of recurrence. The pathological diagnosis was leiomyoma. We report this case with literature review.
我们展示了一例罕见的原发性气管肿瘤的手术病例。在一名44岁无症状男性中，作为健康检查一部分进行的计算机断层扫描（CT）显示，纵隔气管内有一个直径1.5厘米的肿瘤。活检未能得出明确诊断，但肿瘤有快速生长的趋势；因此，进行了手术。通过正中胸骨切开术切除了五个气管环，然后用3-0可吸收线间断缝合。术后过程顺利，无复发迹象。病理诊断为平滑肌瘤。我们结合文献复习报告此病例。
