A 66 year-old male with a history of smoking (35 pack-year units) and gastric adenocarcinoma was referred to a Pulmonology consultation because of abnormal imaging findings. During routine follow-up, thoraco-abdominal computorized tomography was performed, revealing a polypoid lesion in the middle third of the trachea, with a maximum diameter of 12mm (Fig. 1A). He was asymptomatic and had a normal physical examination. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed, confirming the presence of an intra-luminal, highly vascularized polypoid lesion in the middle third of the trachea (Fig. 1B). Biopsies were performed, providing the diagnosis of a pleomorphic adenoma. After multidisciplinary discussion the patient was referred to Thoracic Surgery; segmental tracheal resection was successfully performed.

Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common tumors of the salivary glands but are rare in the trachea (2–9%).1 Presentation is often delayed due to their insidious growth; radical treatment must be considered due to the high risk of recurrence.1,2 Although surgical segmental resection has been the preferred option, bronchoscopic intervention, with the aid of electrocautery or argon-plasma coagulation has been described.1,3 Given the rarity of this entity, its clinical course and optimal follow-up remain undetermined. Local recurrence has been documented after more than ten years.2
