Tracheal schwannoma: Completely resected with therapeutic bronchoscopic techniques

Lung India. 2015 May-Jun;32(3):271-3. doi: 10.4103/0970-2113.156252.

Abstract

Tracheal schwannomas are rare benign tumors of the trachea. There are only a few reported cases in the literature. Surgeons have generally resected these tumors, whereas bronchoscopists have attempted to remove them bronchoscopically. We report a case of tracheal schwannoma which was completely resected using bronchoscopic techniques.
