Abstract
The authors reported here a rare case of tracheal fibroma, male aged 22 affected by Recklinghausen's disease.
He had suffered from heavy dyspnea during 3years, being treated under such mistaken diagnoses as bronchial asthma, bronchopneumonia or tracheal compression by mediastinal tumor; even he had been tracheotomised.
The authors found a tracheal tumor endoscopically which almost occluded the tracheal canal at the depth of 25cm and ascertained it to be fibroma molle histologically.
The growth was removed under tracheoscopia inferior, and the heavy dyspnea disappeared immediately.
