Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Trachea: CT Findings with a Pathological Correlation

We present the multidetector CT findings with a pathologic correlation for the case of a solitary fibrous tumor located in the trachea. The MDCT revealed a well-circumscribed intraluminal mass arising from the trachea, with strong nodular enhancement in the periphery of the mass. The enhancement pattern of the mass corresponded histopathologically to a focal hypocellular area in the center and prominent blood vessels along the periphery of the mass. We also present volume-rendered and virtual bronchoscopic images of this rare submucosal tracheal tumor.

Tracheal Involvement of Bronchus-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma: A Case Report

Primary malignant tumors of the trachea are rare, the most prevalent histologies beeing squamous cell and adenoid cystic carcinoma. A review of the literature revealed only ten cases of primary tracheal or bronchial non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We describe a case in which tracheal involvement of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, occurred.

A case Report of Tracheal Lipoma / 대한흉부외과학회지

Pure lipoma, originating from the trachea is a very rara disease entity A-37-ycar-old-male patient had suf'leered from intermittent episodes of dyspnea and has been treated under the diagnosis of bronchial asthma for 6 months. On chest CT scan and bronchofiberscopic examination, a round mass with the pedunculated neck was found in the mid-portion of the membranous portion of the intrathoracic trachea. Under the guide of fiberoptic bronchoscope, the mass was extirpated using polypectomy w re loop and eletrocauterization. He was discharged without any events on third postoperative day of operation and has been well without recurrence for 6 months.
