| Popis: | Summary Primary tracheal schwannoma is exceptional and may simulate asthma. We report a new case of tracheobronchial schwannoma mimicking severe asthma in a 37-year-old man. Histologic diagnosis is made by surgery after the failure of the endoscopic resection. This tumor, even rare, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with obstructive airway symptoms, especially if unresponsive to conventional therapy. |
