Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the tracheo-bronchial tree is an uncommon tumor. ACC is generally diagnosed as a lesion involving the trachea; endobronchial involvement is extremely rare. At present, surgical resection and reconstruction followed or not by post-operative irradiation is considered as the therapy of choice for definitive cure. Endoscopic treatment of these tumors is uncommonly reported in the literature. We report two cases of ACC of the tracheo-bronchial tree successfully treated by laser and post-operative irradiation.
