Primary tracheal neoplasms in children, especially malignant lesions, are extremely rare. We report a unique case of low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the trachea in a 4-year old child, presenting as new-onset asthma. Using the ventilating resectoscope, endoscopic excision was accomplished without complications. The case is presented with documentation including airway films, endoscopic photographs, and histopathology. The diagnosis of tracheal masses depends upon maintaining a high index of suspicion, complemented by imaging and timely diagnostic endoscopy. A review of the literature is included.
儿童原发性气管肿瘤，尤其是恶性病变极为罕见。我们报告了一例独特的病例，一名4岁儿童患有低度黏液表皮样癌，表现为新发哮喘。使用通气性电切镜成功进行了内镜下切除，无并发症。本文展示了该病例的相关资料，包括气道X线片、内镜照片和组织病理学检查结果。气管肿物的诊断依赖于高度的怀疑指数，并辅以影像学检查和及时的诊断性内镜检查。本文还包括文献综述。
