Primary tumors of the trachea, which may be benign or malignant, account for fewer than 0.1 % of tumors. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second most common tracheal tumor. It poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge because of its slow growth and tendency for local recurrence and late metastasis. We present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of trachea which was misdiagnosed and mistreated as asthma initially because of its inherent indolent progression. It is important to be acquainted with this condition to prevent delay in diagnosis and provide timely treatment.
气管原发性肿瘤,可为良性或恶性,占肿瘤的比例不到0.1%。腺样囊性癌是第二常见的气管肿瘤。由于其生长缓慢、有局部复发和晚期转移的倾向,它带来了诊断和治疗方面的挑战。我们报告一例气管腺样囊性癌病例,该病例最初因其固有的惰性进展而被误诊和误治为哮喘。了解这种疾病对于防止诊断延误和提供及时治疗很重要。
