Primary tumors of the trachea account for less than 0.1% of all tumors. They are malignant in more than 90% of cases with squamous cell carcinoma and adenoidcystic carcinoma accounting for 2/3 of all tracheal tumors. Since they are often misdiagnosed as asthma or chronic lung disease, diagnosis can be delayed for years. Once the diagnosis has been established, surgical resection being the only curative treatment should be considered first. Modern techniques for tracheal surgery such as laryngotracheal, tracheal or carinal resection and different tracheal mobilisation maneuvers such as laryngeal and hilar release allow for resection of more than 50% of the trachea and anastomosis without excessive tension. Results in patients with complete tumor resection are good with 5-year and 10-year survival between 39% and 79% and between 18% and 51%, respectively. However, careful patient evaluation, preservation of tracheal blood supply and accepting the limits of resectability are mandatory to avoid major complications that accompany tracheal resections in more than 20% of cases depending on the type of resection.

Primary tracheal tumours are relatively rare and are usually malignant (80%-90%) in adults 1 and benign (60%-70%) in children. 2 These make up only about 2% of all tumours that arise from the upper airways. Most of the tracheal tumours are squamous cell carcinomas or adenoid cystic carcinomas. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is rare constituting 0.04%-0.07% of all respiratory tract tumours and usually presents in children under 16 years of age. 3 As patients with tracheal tumours initially present with non-specific respiratory symptoms, definitive diagnosis is often delayed. Chest computed tomography is an important imaging modality to diagnose and stage patients with suspected tracheal neoplasms. Bronchoscopy is essential to make histopathological diagnosis. Persistent or progressive local disease can cause complications, like haemorrhage, tracheal stenosis, or oesophageal-tracheal fistula. case reportA 43-year-old female with no known co-morbidities, presented with dyspnoea and episodes of haemoptysis since preceding 8-9 months. She was being treated symptomatically before reporting to us. At presentation, stridor was the only abnormal finding on physical examination. She was unable to perform pulmonary function testing because of respiratory distress. Laboratory investigations were normal. Chest radiograph was normal. Thereafter, computed tomography (CT) of the chest was done which revealed endotracheal mass obliterating the lumen of the trachea (Figures 1A & B).
