A 35 year old male was admitted to the hospital with the chief complaint of severe dyspnea followed by unconsiousness of several occasions. His chest roentgenogram did not reveal any abnormal shadow. Though, bronchoscopy demonstrated a large tumor almost obstructing the trachea just above the carina (Fig. 3). The tumor was then resected with a part of the trachea. The tracheal window defect thus made and 1.5×5.0cm. in size was closed by sutures alone without any graft. Postoperative Co60 radiation was followed and his condition is satisfactory six months after surgery.
The treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma was discussed with a review of literatures.
