RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Tracheal Glomus Tumor: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Management JF Respiratory Care FD American Association for Respiratory Care SP 342 OP 346 DO 10.4187/respcare.00761 VO 56 IS 3 A1 Lama Sakr A1 Ramanathan Palaniappan A1 Marie-José Payan A1 Christophe Doddoli A1 Hervé Dutau YR 2011 UL http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/56/3/342.abstract AB A 66-year-old man presented with acute respiratory distress due to a tracheal tumor involving the posterior wall of the upper trachea, with nearly complete airway obstruction. Partial debulking of the tumor's endoluminal component, via rigid bronchoscopy and yttrium-aluminum-perovskite laser, allowed timely and effective airway restoration. The diagnosis was benign tracheal glomus tumor. Two weeks later, elective tracheal sleeve resection with end-to-end anastomosis allowed complete resection of the lesion. No tumor recurrence was found at 21-month follow-up. We describe the multidisciplinary management of this extremely rare tracheal tumor, and review its features.
