Tracheal glomus tumors are extremely rare. We present herein the case of a 43-year-old man with hoarseness who was found to have a glomus tumor arising from the lower trachea. Bronchoscopy and chest computed tomography revealed a polypoid mass in the membranous portion of the trachea just above the carina. The patient underwent successful tracheal sleeve resection and reconstruction. A pathologic diagnosis of a glomus tumor with clear surgical margins was subsequently confirmed, and the patient is well 20 months postoperatively with an intact anastomosis.
气管球瘤极为罕见。我们在此报告一例43岁男性患者，因声音嘶哑就诊，发现其下气管出现球瘤。支气管镜检查和胸部计算机断层扫描显示，在气管隆突上方的气管膜部有一个息肉样肿物。该患者成功接受了气管袖状切除及重建手术。随后病理诊断为切缘清晰的球瘤，患者术后20个月恢复良好，吻合口完整。
