ABSTRACT
We present a rare case of primary tracheal schwannoma in a 49-year-old man who had experienced obstructive airway symptoms for 4 years. Computed Tomography (CT) showed an intratracheal polipoid mass lesion originating from the left lateral wall. Fibre-optic bronchoscopy revealed the diagnosis of an intratracheal poylpoid mass obstructing 70% of the lumen. After diagnosing a benign lesion by punch biopsies with bronchoscopy, thoracotomy was performed and the tumour was totally excised. Histopathological examination revealed a benign neurogenic tumour of schwann cell origin.
