A Patient with Tracheal Leiomyoma and Meningioma: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Most of the tumors that form in the trachea and bronchi in adults are malignant but a few are benign. Common benign tumors of the trachea are squamous cell papilloma, fibroma, hemangioma and leiomyoma. Leiomyoma of trachea constitute only 1% of the common benign tumors of the trachea and hence few cases are reported in the literature. Meningiomas are a diverse set of tumors arising from the meninges, majority of these tumors are usually benign and only 8% are either atypical or malignant, which could recur after treatment or removal. Presence of both this uncommon tumors in a single patient is quite rare. We present a case of a woman with both the tumors.
