Abstract

Tracheal tumors are rare, with more than 90% of tumors being malignant in nature. The most common types of primary malignant tracheal malignancies are squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. The mainstay of treatment, when possible, is surgical resection. Unresectable tumors generally have a poor prognosis. This chapter reviews the different histologic tumor types. In addition, we discuss the diagnosis, clinical workup, and management of patients with these rare tumors.
