Department of Thoracic Surgery and Respiratory Disease, Kansaidenryoku Hospital, Osaka, Japan.

A 16-year-old woman suffering from suffocating tracheal neurilemmoma was admitted to our hospital. Endoscopic polypectomy and Nd:YAG laser therapy were performed. Then the symptom was disappeared. During the observation, bronchoscopic findings showed the tumor was still existence and the radical operation was performed. Because the tumor was benign and the residual tumor was noted only in membraneous site, we resected the residual tumor and performed the tracheoplasty with an intercostal pedicle flap. Clinical course was good without any complications. This method was considered to be effective for the treatment of limited benign lesion.
