Endotracheal and endobronchial schwannomas are rare neurogenic tumors. Surgical resection prioritizing lung preservation is recommended due to their benign nature.

Area of Science:

* Respiratory Medicine
* Surgical Oncology
* Thoracic Surgery

Background:

* Endotracheal and endobronchial schwannomas are rare neurogenic tumors.
* These tumors often present with late symptoms like hemoptysis and dyspnea due to airway obstruction.

Observation:

* Two cases of tracheobronchial schwannoma causing proximal airway obstruction are presented.
* Diagnostic modalities for evaluating these rare airway tumors were reviewed.

Findings:

* Malignant transformation of tracheobronchial schwannomas is exceedingly rare.
* The study reviews diagnostic approaches and emphasizes surgical resection.

Implications:

* Emphasizes a lung-sparing surgical approach for tracheobronchial schwannomas.
