| Abstract: | Pleomorphic adenoma in the trachea is very rare. We report the case of a 46-year-old woman who had been treated for asthma for 12?months before the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea was made. The tumour was defined by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the mid 1/3 of the trachea obstructing nearly 90?% of the lumen. Through a collar incision and partial sternotomy, 3?cm segment of the trachea was resected and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. |
