An Aberrant Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Trachea in Female Patient: A Case Report

Tracheal tumours can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumours grow slowly and may mimic the clinical presentation of chronic lung diseases, resulting in delayed diagnosis. Conversely, rapidly growing malignant tumours present early with locally advanced disease. Hereby, the authors present a case of a 54-year-old female who presented with complaints of breathlessness at rest and cough with expectoration for one year, with a background history of chronic bidi smoking for 20 years. Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) showed an ill-defined soft tissue mass lesion above the carina, partially obstructing its lumen with heterogeneous post-contrast enhancement. During bronchoscopy, an endotracheal pedunculated mass was observed in the proximal one-third of the trachea, occluding the distal airway. The excised mass was confirmed as Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) on histopathological examination {Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E)}. The presence of co-morbid conditions in the patient, the site of the tumour, and the availability of treatment options are some of the factors that influence the survival rate of this rare airway tumour.

Infección por Proteus mirabilis en carcinoma escamoso de la laringe: reporte de caso

Se reporta el caso de un paciente con traqueítis crónica, cuyo agente etiológico se documentó en forma recurrente como Proteus mirabilis. Como principal factor predisponente en este paciente se encontró carcinoma escamocelular de la tráquea (1).

The Five Years Survival after Surgery of Primary Tracheal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Unlike the primary tracheal tumors, squamous cell carcinoma of trachea is common, especially in smokers. This type of tumor has a low rate of survival and it is diagnosed too late on account of late presentation of its signs. The treatment of choice is surgical removal followed by adjuvant radiotherapy; Primary radiotherapy is the appropriate treatment in inoperable cases. In this study, we present the case with a long history of smoking, who was suffering from cough and dyspnea for a long time. During diagnostic evaluations a vegetated tumor was observed about 5 centimeters below the vocal cords. Pathologists reported the tumor as a squamous cell carcinoma, and the patient underwent an operation for resection of involved trachea. Through presenting this patient, we aimed to draw attention to this uncommon malignancy and recommend considering it as a probable diagnosis when evaluating a patient with treatment-resistant respiratory symptoms

Radiation treatment of primary tracheal cancers

Two cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of trachea are presented here, One case of low tracheal tumour with supraclavicular lymphnode metastasis presented with air way obstruction and required emergency treatment, is discussed. Second patient with high tracheal tumor which also presented with air way obstruction was managed with radiation therapy after tracheostomy. The management of both cases is described along with review of literature regarding primary tracheal tumors and its management.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of trachea: Report of a case

Summary A primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lower third of the trachea is reported in a man of 63 years who had been a heavy smoker. A massive secondary deposit was present in the upper mediastinum when the patient was admitted. Cardiac arrest terminated a technically successful resection. Necropsy failed to demonstrate any further metastases.
