We experienced a surgical case of a rare primary tracheal tumor. A 77-year-old woman visited a local clinic with chief complaints of coughing, wheezing, and discomfort in the throat. Computed tomography revealed a mass measuring approximately 1.5 cm in the mediastinal trachea, extending from the membranous portion of the trachea to the esophagus. Bronchofibroscopy showed a flat, smooth-surfaced, round mass arising from the membranous portion. Surgery was performed because of the possibility of airway obstruction and suffocation. Sleeve resection of five tracheal rings was performed via median sternotomy and interrupted suture was performed using 3-0 absorbable suture material. The postoperative course was favorable and there has been no evidence of recurrence. The pathological diagnosis was solitary fibrous tumor. A primary solitary fibrous tumor of the trachea is extremely rare. Here, we report this disease with a literature review.
