“…Argon plasma coagulation is a useful tool for the resection of benign tumors [ 13 ]; besides, rigid bronchoscopy helped us in exploiting our desired instruments, including cautery, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope with argon plasma coagulation, and grasper forceps. This resulted in complete excision of the tumor with good hemostasis [ 6 ]. In addition, mechanical debulking was done via the bevel of the rigid bronchoscope.…”

Background Endotracheal tumors are rare in the respiratory system. Myoepitheliomas are benign tumors, which are rarely reported in the respiratory system. Herein, we report a rare case of endotracheal myoepithelioma, which was resected by rigid bronchoscopy. Case presentation A 36-year-old man, presenting with chest pain, dyspnea, stridor, and hemoptysis, was referred to our center with radiological features of near-total tracheal obstruction due to mass. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with argon plasma coagulation and rigid bronchoscopy with grasper forceps was utilized to resect the mass. Pathological evaluation of the mass demonstrated myoepithelioma. The patient was discharged in good condition. Now, after 6 months, the patient is symptom-free with no evidence of tumor recurrence or re-growth. Conclusions Despite being extremely rare, myoepithelioma should be considered a possible differential diagnosis for endotracheal tumors. Fiberoptic and rigid bronchoscopy management is an effective method for the resection of endotracheal tumors.
