“…About 45% of respiratory tract leiomyomas are found within the bronchi ( 31 ). Those located in the pulmonary parenchyma often have no clinical symptoms, whereas tracheobronchial leiomyomas can cause symptoms related to airway obstruction, such as coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and in some cases, hemoptysis ( 32 ). Treatment options for tracheal leiomyoma include surgical resection, such as partial lobectomy or pneumonectomy, and bronchoscopic interventions, such as electrocautery, cryotherapy, and laser treatment.…”

Due to their unique location, airway tumors have a significant impact on patient quality of life and survival. Current research has focused extensively on malignant airway tumors; however, benign airway tumors, especially rare ones, are less understood due to their low incidence. These tumors are often misdiagnosed and mistreated due to diagnostic challenges. Therefore, there is still a lack of consensus on the treatment of some rare benign airway tumors. Our center summarizes the diagnosis and treatment of four rare cases of benign airway stenosis in recent years, highlighting the bronchoscopic manifestations and therapeutic approaches to improve the understanding of these diseases.

“…A persistent air leak despite the chest tube drainage should alert the clinician on the possibility of airway injury. [ 8 ] The entrapped air in the pleural cavity was pushed out once positive pressure ventilation was initiated with no further leak from the ICD.…”

Direct injury to airway is a rare event and also a challenge to anaesthesiologist and surgeon. We present a case report of open tracheal injury with right pneumothorax in a young male following assault with a sharp weapon. In spite of a chest tube in situ, the patient came with collapse of one lung and tachypnoea which required surgical exploration. Lower airway was evaluated by fibre-optic bronchoscopy through the open tracheal wound while he was awake and tracheal tube was passed over the bronchoscope. There was no vascular or oesophageal injury detected. Although there was a pleural tear, there were no signs of injury to lung parenchyma. After evaluation, end to end anastomosis of the trachea was planned, for which orotracheal tube was passed with surgical assistance. Patient was shifted to post-operative high dependency unit and was electively ventilated for 7 days and was later successfully extubated under fibre-optic bronchoscope guidance.
