The trachea is a sporadic origin of paraganglioma. The purpose of the present study was to identify the features of tracheal paraganglioma and reveal the effectiveness of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by reviewing both previous and current cases. In cases of tracheal tumors, we need to consider the bleeding risk associated with a biopsy, as the tumor may be paraganglioma, which is hypervascular. If a biopsy is not available, then CT and MRI can aid in making a pre-operative diagnosis. MRI in particular is useful for long-term observations.
气管是副神经节瘤的散发性起源。本研究的目的是通过回顾既往和现有病例,确定气管副神经节瘤的特征,并揭示计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)的效果。在气管肿瘤的情况下,我们需要考虑活检相关的出血风险,因为肿瘤可能是副神经节瘤,它是多血管的。如果无法进行活检,那么 CT 和 MRI 有助于术前诊断。特别是 MRI 对于长期观察很有用。
