We report a case of adenoid cystic tracheal carcinoma with cytological examination of fluid obtained by tracheal washing. The trachea was partially resected and the adenoid cystic carcinoma diagnosis confirmed. Tracheal washing is safe and enables adenoid cystic carcinoma to be diagnosed by carefully examining the tracheal washing specimen cytologically.
