Surgical strategy for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea: a comparison of tracheal sleeve resection end-to-end anastomosis and window tracheocutaneous fistula

Cancer complicates approximately 0.1% of all pregnancies. Primary tracheal carcinoma is one of very rarely seen tumors and the rate of its being seen makes up approximately % 0.2 of all tumors of respiratory tract. The patient, 28 years old, who has 28-weeks-pregnant, was diagnosed with primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma. Patient was made operation as thoracotomy and tracheal tumor was remo...

Tracheal sarcomatoid carcinoma is an extremely infrequent neoplasm with unclear pathogenesis and clinical outcomes. To date, only two cases have been described in English literature. We report a case of a 37-year-old patient complaining of hemoptysis, dyspnea, and cough. An intraluminal polypoid mass in the trachea was found and ultimately diagnosed as tracheal sarcomatoid carcinoma in the cerv...

Abstract Background Caudal tracheal stent migration can be potentially life threatening by causing distal luminal obstruction. We present a rare double hitch stitch procedure (for prevention of stent), which is an external fixation technique in case tracheoesophageal fistula with and esophageal self-expandable metallic (SEMS). Case presentation A 50-year-old male patient who presented cough dys...

A 57-year-old man was admitted to our department 10 years ago, diagnosed with tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma. After discontinuing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the disease recurred in December 2016. Apatinib mesylate (500 mg/day) was administered and computed tomography revealed that his symptoms were significantly relieved. Treatment with apatinib mesylate represents a novel method of trea...

RATIONALE Primary tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea primary is a rare neoplasm and commonly misdiagnosed. Lung isolation during surgery and ventilation pose a tremendous challenge to anesthesiologists. PATIENT CONCERNS The authors describe a novel technique of lung isolation and ventilation with a Univent tube during thoracoscopic mediastinal tracheal resection and reconstructi...

PURPOSE To present experience with high dose-rate endobronchial brachytherapy in the treatment of primary tracheal tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four patients with nonresected primary tracheal tumors are presented: 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the trachea, 1 of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma, and 1 with recurrent plasmacytoma. All received brachytherapy, alone or as a boost for pr...
