CTICasesTracheal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Imaging findings
CT reveals a large, nasty-looking tracheal lesion that is near circumferential, bulky anteriorly, and significantly narrows the tracheal lumen.
Key takeaways
Primary tracheal tumors, while rare, can cause significant airway obstruction. Squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma are key differentials. The aggressive nature and extent of the lesion on imaging are crucial for surgical planning and prognosis.
