✦ Synopsis

We report a rare case of an intratracheal neurilemmoma which presented as advanced upper aimay obstruction. The tumor was successfully excised by laryngofissure. A review of the world literature is provided. 12:436-439 Tumors of the trachea are uncommon and those of benign histology are rare in adults. Tracheal tumors are often overlooked as a cause of pulmonary symptoms until they reach an advanced state. Reported herein is a case of a neurilemmoma of the trachea that was not diagnosed until critical airway obstruction mandated diagnostic studies. This is the 19th case of a tracheal neurilemmoma in the world literature.
