[A further case of tracheal paraganglioma].
Paragangliomas, or chemodectomas, are neuro-endocrine tumors of the neural type, derived from extra-adrenal paraganglia. Tracheal localizations are rare. We report the case of a patient with a paraganglioma of the upper part of the trachea. The tumor was totally removed by means of the resection of the subglottic trachea and anastomosis. Surgery is the treatment of such lesions, but can be difficult in cases of subglottic or juxta-carinal localizations.
