title: [Cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis].
abstract: The 26-year-old man experienced symptoms of chronic airway obstruction with shortness of breath, cough and wheezing, which primarily led to a diagnosis of asthma bronchiale. Absence of adequate response to antiasthmatic treatment and development of hemoptysis and weight loss led to the tentative diagnosis of upper airway obstruction by tumor. Bronchoscopy revealed adenoid cystic carcinoma of the distal trachea.
