ABSTRACT
Primary tracheal tumors are rare and present with signs and symptoms of airway obstruction, and thus, are often initially diagnosed as asthma or chronic obstructive lung disease at an early stage. For this reason, many patients present with advanced stage disease at initial diagnosis. The authors report the case of a 73-year-old male heavy smoker with dyspnea and stridor. Chest computed tomography showed a tracheal mass, and he received a diagnosis of primary tracheal small cell carcinoma after bronchoscopic biopsy. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy was performed and after 5 years of outpatient clinic follow-up he continued to do well with no evidence of disease recurrence.
