ABSTRACT

Primary airway adenoid cystic carcinoma is very uncommon. We report a 60 years old male consulting for hemoptysis and dyspnea. A chest CAT scan showed a mass in the right superior lobar bronehus. The patient was subjected to a right superior sleeve lobectomy and the pathological study of the surgical piece revealed an adenoid cystic carcinoma. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy. Surgery and radiation therapy are the mainstay of treatment for this type of tumors.


El carcinoma adenoide quístico primario de la vía aérea es una neoplasia muy rara. Reportamos el caso de un paciente de 60 años de edad quien consultó por hemoptisis y disnea de esfuerzo. Una tomografía computarizada del tórax reveló una masa en el bronquio fuente y lobar superior del pulmón derecho. Se realizó una lobectomía superior derecha en manguito. El estudio histopatológico mostró un carcinoma adenoide quístico. Se administró radioterapia adyuvante. La cirugía y la radioterapia son las bases del manejo de este tipo de tumores.
