Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea. Case report

Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg. 1996;50(2):147-9.

Abstract

Neoplasms of the trachea are rare. The fifth case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that nearly obliterated the lumen is reported. It is one of the most frequent soft tissue sarcomas particularly in the extremities. It is very rare in the trachea. Treatment is mainly based on local resection. Postoperative radiotherapy seems of little value.
