Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea.
A 17-year-old woman was admitted with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the cervical trachea. The very rare occurrence of malignancy in this tumor at that location and its unusual presentation, misdiagnosis, and surgical management in the face of near-total tracheal occlusion make its reporting worthwhile.
