Abstract
Endotracheal tube fire during surgery is a rare complication associated with carbon dioxide laser surgery and, less often, with electrocautery. We report a case in which tracheostomy was performed because of recurrence of a laryngeal tumor. During the procedure the endotracheal tube ignited when the lumen was opened with the electrocautery device.
