The most common tracheal neoplasms are epidermoid carcinomas, papillomas and cylindromas. Kaposi's sarcoma, confined primarily to the trachea, is one of the rarest tumours. The clinical and histological picture of a case of Kaposi's sarcoma of the trachea in a young, pregnant woman, presenting with severe airway obstruction, is described here. The emergency tracheoscopy dislodged a mass from the trachea, which turned out to be a Kaposi's sarcoma on histology. Although Kaposi's sarcoma is one of the manifestations of AIDS, this patient had neither any underlying immunodeficiency nor any skin, visceral or lymphatic lesions.
最常见的气管肿瘤是表皮样癌、乳头状瘤和圆柱瘤。主要局限于气管的卡波西肉瘤是最罕见的肿瘤之一。本文描述了一名年轻孕妇气管卡波西肉瘤病例的临床和组织学表现，该患者出现严重气道阻塞。急诊气管镜检查从气管中取出一个肿物，组织学检查证实为卡波西肉瘤。尽管卡波西肉瘤是艾滋病的表现之一，但该患者既没有潜在的免疫缺陷，也没有任何皮肤、内脏或淋巴病变。
