Abstract
We report 2 cases of chondrosarcoma of the trachea. This etiology of tracheal tumors is exceptional, and only a few cases have been reported so far. The optimal management for these 2 cases was challenging. First an interventional bronchoscopy was required for biopsy and to prevent airway obstruction. Second a radical en bloc resection with free margins was performed through a sternotomy in the first case and by a cervicotomy in the second case. Fifty and 6 months after surgery the 2 patients are alive with no local or distant recurrence.
