Abstract

We report a case of a primary tracheal schwannoma causing symptoms of airway obstruction in a 33-year-old man. Bronchoscopy and computerized tomography demonstrated a polypoid intratracheal mass obstructing 90% of the lumen. Tracheal resection with primary anastomosis was performed. Histologic analysis revealed a benign neurogenic tumor of Schwann cell origin.
