Abstract
Primary tracheal tumours are very rare. So there is a paucity of experience both in the behaviour of these tumours and their responses to modern surgical treatment and radiotherapy. The commonest of the tracheal tumours are squamous cell carcinoma followed by Adenocarcinoma. A variety of benign tumours are also encountered very rarely. The symptoms of these tumours vary widely. They may be mistaken for bronchial asthma or pulmonary tuberculosis in the initial stages. Here we report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of cervical trachea. The patient presented with stridor. Patient evaluation and management is also discussed.
