Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea.
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.
