Abstract

Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumours that are uncommon in the head and neck region. Only few cases of chondroma have been reported in the trachea. We present a 70-year-old patient who presented clinically with severe dyspnoea requiring urgent tracheotomy. An oval, expansive, well-delineated tracheal tumour was evident on magnetic resonance imaging. The mass was removed surgically in its entirety, preserving tracheal rings, and the histopathological diagnosis was chondroma. The patient was decannulated after 2 months, and was followed for 3 years. Urgent tracheotomy is an unusual initial clinical manifestation of this infrequent tumour. Surgical options and the choice of therapy in this case are discussed.

Resumen

Los condromas constituyen tumores cartilaginosos benignos que son infrecuentes en las regiones de cabeza y cuello. Sólo unos pocos casos de condroma se han producido en la tráquea. Presentamos un paciente de 70 años que se presentó clínicamente con disnea, que precisaba una traqueotomía urgente. En la imagen de la resonancia magnética se reveló un tumor traqueal oval, expansivo y bien delineado. La masa fue íntegramente extirpada mediante cirugía, conservándose los anillos traqueales, y el diagnóstico histopatológico resultó ser un condroma. El paciente fue desintubado a los dos meses, realizándose un seguimiento durante tres años. La traqueotomía de urgencia constituye una infrecuente manifestación clínica inicial de este tumor poco frecuente. En este artículo se tratan las opciones quirúrgicas y la elección de terapia.
