ABSTRACT

A 63-year-old male patient, with 5 years history of progressive dyspnea and aggravation for 1 year, was hospitalized in our hospital; and there was a slight cough, but no cough phlegm, chest pain, hemoptysis or hoarseness. Physical examination showed that there was a third-degree respiratory distress, obvious three depression sign, but no mass in the neck. Electronic laryngoscopy examination reported a mulberry-like mass in trachea about 1.5cm from the glottis. The tumor occupied 90% range of lumen with its base close to the anterior wall of trachea,and tumor could move up and down with cough airflow. After hospitalization, this patient received intratracheal tumor resection under local anesthesia, and postoperative pathology report showed endotracheal papillomatosis, covered by ciliated columnar epithelium.
