Core Tip

Core Tip: We report a case diagnosed with primary tracheal schwannoma using endoscopic resection. Primary tracheal schwannoma is an extremely rare benign tumor of trachea. To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases have previously been reported. Cough and hemoptysis are common in this disease, but many patients are misdiagnosed as having asthma. Our experience shows that primary tracheal schwannoma can be safely and completely resected by a high-frequency electric knife in a minimally invasive manner.
