“…Other reports of tracheal and bronchial adenomas which may have included carcinoids include Schwartz [6], D'Aunoy and Zoeller [7], Harrill [8], Smidt [9] and Zellos [10]. Reports of primary tracheal carcinoids in English literature were compiled by Briselli et al [4].…”

Carcinoid of the trachea is an extremely rare entity with very few cases reported in literature. The standard of treatment is complete surgical excision with limited role for chemotherapy and also a limited role for radiotherapy as this type of tumour has very low metastatic potential. We describe a case of a tracheal carcinoid which was surgically unresectable, but which showed excellent response to combined modality treatment with sequential multi-agent chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy with complete resolution of disease.

Three cases of carcinoid tumor arising in the trachea are reported and contrasted with carcinoids arising in bronchi and carcinoids in general. Only eleven other documented examples of tracheal carcinoids are found in the English literature. The true prevalence of carcinoids primary in the trachea cannot be accurately determined from the literature because of imprecise nomenclature or because of the failure to distinguish this tumor from carcinoids primary in the bronchus. Presenting symptoms are hemoptysis, dyspnea and wheezing, often persisting for many years before the correct diagnosis is made. The treatment of choice is surgical resection of the involved segment of trachea and primary reconstruction. The prognosis is generally good. The tumor metastasized in one of our three cases and in none of the eleven cases in the English literature.Cancer 42:2870-2879, 1978. ARCINOID TUMORS OCCUR in most organsC of the body, but one location in which carcinoids are rarely encountered is the trachea. The recent English literature does not include any reports devoted specifically to this entity. Carcinoid tumors have been noted in the trachea, but the grouping of carcinoid tumors with adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid tumors as variants of tracheobronchial "adenomas" in the older literature and in textbooks has led to mistaken perceptions of their incidence and distribution in the airways. We report three tracheal neoplasms which display diverse histopathology and clinical behavior reflecting the spectrum that is carcinoid tumors. The total number of documented tracheal carcinoids in the English language is now fourteen. CLINICAL FEATURES Case 1A 24-year-old Caucasian male electrical company employee was referred to the Massachusetts General Hospital after evaluation at another hospital for recurrent pneumonias over a one and one-half year interval and a recent episode of hemoptysis disclosed a large exophytic mass in the distal trachea. Biopsy of this mass disclosed a carcinoid tumor. The patient had smoked one pack of cigarettes per day. Physical examination and laboratory studies were all within normal limits. A polypoid intratracheal mass could be seen on chest x-ray. Pulmonary function testing showed a moderately severe obstructive defect. At bronchoscopy a pedunculated mass was seen to arise from the posterior and right posterolateral wall of the distal trachea eleven centimeters distal to the vocal cords. The mass occupied three-fourths of the cross-sectional area of the tracheal lumen. A cylindrical resection of the distal trachea with adjacent lymph nodes was performed with primary anastamosis and application of a layer of pleura.

A case of mixed tumor, salivary gland type, removed by segmental resection of the trachea is reported. Only thirteen acceptable and five probable tracheal mixed tumors have been found in the world literature. The behavior of this variety of tumor in the trachea appears to be similar to its counterpart in other sites and distinctly different from the more frequently encountered epithelial tumors: squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.
