Abstract:
Primary tumors of the trachea, which may be benign or malignant, account for fewer than 0.1 % of tumors. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second most common tracheal tumor. It poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge because of its slow growth and tendency for local recurrence and late metastasis. We present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of trachea which was misdiagnosed and mistreated as asthma initially because of its inherent indolent progression. It is important to be acquainted with this condition to prevent delay in diagnosis and provide timely treatment.

CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...
The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
