title: Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea.
abstract: Primary tracheal tumors are very rare. Pleomorphic adenoma is rarely found in the trachea, despite being the most common histological form of salivary gland neoplasm. We present a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea. Bronchoscopic excision using cold instruments resulted in apparently normal tracheal mucosa.
