Se presenta el caso de un varón de 61 años, fumador importante, que ingresó en nuestro servicio por presentar disnea intensa y estridor laríngeo. La radiografía torácica mostró una lesión nodular traqueal en su tercio superior que en el examen endoscópico reveló un aspecto tumoral y la biopsia confirmó su naturaleza de adenocarcinoma. La neoplasia se resecó en su mayor parte mediante asa de electrocoagulación a través de endoscopio rígido, consiguiéndose la normalización clínica y una buena evolución.

A 61-year-old man was admitted because of severe dyspnea and stridor of the larynx. He was a heavy habitual smoker. Chest radiography demonstrated a nodular lesion in the upper third of the trachea which endoscopy revealed to be tumorous and biopsy confirmed as adenocarcinoma. The tumor was resected with rigid endoscopy electrocoagulation which elicited a favourable response and course.
