Tracheal cancer is a rare neoplasm that accounts for only about 0.1% of all respiratory tract tumors. Cysticadenoid carcinoma (or cylindroma) represents the second histological type of tracheal tumors in order of frequency. These lesions are characterized by slow local growth, perineural invasion, and potential local and distant recurrence. Complete surgical resection offers the patient a better opportunity of prolonged survival or complete remission. The addition of photon- or electron-beam radiation seems to influence local control but does not affect survival. In this paper, we report a clinical case describing the characteristics and management of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea in 59 years-old men.
