Cancer complicates approximately 0.1% of all pregnancies. Primary tracheal carcinoma is one of very rarely seen tumors and the rate of its being seen makes up approximately % 0.2 of all tumors of respiratory tract. The patient, 28 years old, who has 28-weeks-pregnant, was diagnosed with primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma. Patient was made operation as thoracotomy and tracheal tumor was removed at the 28th week of pregnancy. Patient was delivered with sectio abdominale at the 39th week of pregnancy. Primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma is very rarely seen tumors and it is the first tracheal ACC with pregnancy case in literature to have been detected and surgically treated during pregnancy. We discussed primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma and tracheal tumors during pregnancy with literature.

“…12 To our knowledge, only 11 adult tracheal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors have been previously reported (Table). 11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Apart from patients described in the Table, Lee et al reported 15 patients (mean age 31.3 y, range 7 months to 61 y) who underwent surgery for inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors, 4 of which were tracheal, 4 but the ages of those 4 patients were not stated.…”

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the trachea is a rare benign tumor in adults. It is mostly seen before the age of 16. We describe a 20-year-old female patient who presented with stridor. She had a fixed obstruction on spirometry, and computed tomography and bronchoscopy confirmed tracheal thickening and stenosis below the vocal cords and bronchial wall thickening at the level of the carina. Bronchoscopic biopsy confirmed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. She recovered after mechanical dilatation and resection via rigid bronchoscopy, followed by corticosteroid therapy.

“…There are also reports of positive staining to CD34 and focal positivity for factor XIIIa [6]. The differential diagnosis on histological grounds includes pseudoneoplastic lesions such as nodular fasciitis, benign lesions such as neurofibromas and malignant neoplasms, for example spindle cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma and lymphoma [7]. …”

An 11-year-old girl was referred to our institution with complete obstruction of the left main stem bronchus by an endoluminal mass and was successfully treated by a combination of laser and mechanical debulking. Coring of the mass both allowed histological diagnosis (inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour) and definitive treatment with no recurrence after 3 years of follow-up. This case report emphasizes the major role of interventional bronchoscopy in the management of tumoural obstruction in children in whom benign conditions are frequent. Interventional bronchoscopy, which is minimally invasive when compared to surgery, in the vast majority of cases allows a precise diagnosis as it provides large samples of tissue removed during coring; in some cases it can be curative by itself and preserves lung parenchyma and function.
