Abstract

Extracutaneous glomus tumors are uncommon and rarely occur in the trachea. We describe a 73-year-old man with a glomus tumor of the trachea who presented with cough, dyspnea, chest pain, and hemoptysis. A curative segmental tracheal resection with primary reconstruction was performed with no recurrence at 6-year follow-up. The clinicopathologic features of this unusual neoplasm are discussed with a review of the literature.
