Abstract

Primary benign tracheal tumors are exceedingly rare and leiomyoma has the least frequency among them. It is important to recognize early without misdiagnosis such as asthma because it is curable. A 41 year-old female was admitted for dyspnea and choking since November 1991. Under the impression of asthma, she received medication. Symptom was not improved and thus chest CT scan was performed. There was endotracheal tumor mass which was located just above the carina and arose from the right lateral tracheal wall with broad base. We successfully resected the tumor mass including trachea and the defected area of trachea was reconstructed with autologous graft using pericrdium & rib cartilage. During the follow up period, no complication was developed.
