Abstract

The photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment modality of destroying malignant tumors and pre-malignant lesions based on the use of photodynamical damage to tumor cells under the photochemical reactions. But the clinical reports of photodynamic application on the benign tumor of the internal organs were extremely rare. So we decribed our experience of one case of benign tracheal tumor successfully treated by PDT.
