El carcinoma adenoide quístico es un tumor poco habitual del árbol traqueobronquial de curso clínico insidioso, naturaleza infiltrativa y tendencia a la recurrencia local. El diagnóstico suele ser tardío, generalmente cuando éste ya ocluye gran parte de la luz bronquial y se extiende ampliamente por la submucosa, dificultando por ello el tratamiento quirúrgico electivo que debe ser complementado en la mayoría de las ocasiones con radioterapia adyuvante. El pronóstico, no obstante, es aceptable, con supervivencias a los 5 años superiores al 75%.

Se presentan 2 casos diagnosticados recientemente en nuestro centro, uno traqueal con amplia extensión longitudinal y otro localizado en carina. Se hace una revisión de la literatura.

Adenoide cystic carcinoma is a rare but insidious tumor of the trachea and bronchi. It is infiltrative and tends to recur at the same site. Diagnosis is often late, generally when a large part of the bronchial opening is occluded and with extensive invasion of submucosal tissue, making elective surgery difficult and complementary radiotherapy necessary in most cases. The prognosis, however, is fairly good, with survival after 5 years in 75% of patients.

We present cases diagned recently at our hospital, one with a large lontitudinal tracheal tumor and the other with a located in the carina. The literature is reviewed.
