Primary salivary gland-type tumors of the lung and airways being unusual, they pose a diagnostic challenge on small biopsies and are usually consigned as non-small cell lung carcinomas. Since the clinical behavior of these tumors is different from the conventional lung tumors, it is important to accurately diagnose them. Among this category of tumors, adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lungs and airways is exceedingly rare. Few large studies and maximum case reports have been reported in literature on ACC of the lungs and trachea so far. We herein report a rare case of primary ACC of the trachea diagnosed on bronchoscopic biopsy.
肺和气道的原发性涎腺型肿瘤较为罕见，在小活检时会带来诊断挑战，通常被归类为非小细胞肺癌。由于这些肿瘤的临床行为与传统肺部肿瘤不同，准确诊断它们很重要。在这类肿瘤中，肺和气道的腺样囊性癌（ACC）极为罕见。迄今为止，关于肺和气管ACC的大型研究和最多病例报告在文献中报道较少。我们在此报告一例经支气管镜活检诊断的气管原发性ACC罕见病例。
