Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Trachea

摘要: Abstract Sixteen patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea were treated by resection, on occasion combined radiotherapy. In 14 in whom circumferential resection was done, defect reconstructed primary anastomosis (5 patients, up to 8.5 cm. resected), prosthetic replacement (6 11 or laryngectomy end tracheostomy (3 patients). 3 remaining a partial tracheal closed patch autologous tissue. There no operative deaths (12 resections) managed anastomosis, graft, tracheostomy; and 8 these are alive clinically free local tumor 2 18 years following resection. Prosthetic 6 resulted 4 postoperative due innominate artery erosion); good palliation obtained survivors. receiving preoperative radiotherapy, recurrence has been observed, healing not impaired. Extensive sleeve is now possible treatment choice for this tumor. Preoperative radiotherapy may delay obviate recurrence.
