Abstract:
Malignant primary tracheal tumors are extremely rare. The most common malignant primary tracheal tumors are squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinomas. In this brief report, we describe a patient who presented with a primary papillary squamous cell carcinoma in-situ at multiple areas in the trachea with a significant airway obstruction. Our case was successfully managed using a combination of electrocautery and argon photocoagulation for endotracheal ablation of the tumor and adjuvant external beam radiotherapy.
