Tracheal Schwannoma Presenting as Subcutaneous Emphysema and Pneumomediastinum.

Primary tracheal schwannomas are rare benign tumours. This is a case report, and therefore, no specific methods or results are applicable. We here report a case of a tracheal schwannoma in an early adolescent girl presenting with subcutaneous emphysema and symptoms of airway obstruction. Tracheal resection and reconstruction by primary anastomosis were performed. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of tracheal schwannoma. This is an unusual life-threatening presentation of a benign rare tracheal tumour with a challenging approach to management.
