Fibrosarcoma of the trachea in a child: case report and review of the literature.

摘要

We present a case of nearly total obstruction of the trachea in a 15-month-old boy suffering from tracheal fibrosarcoma. The diagnosis was confirmed on histological examination of a removed part of the tumor, with subsequent successful complete resection of tracheal fibrosarcoma. Follow-up to the age of 13 years showed complete recovery with normalization of respiratory functions. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this case are discussed.
