Özet
Glomus tumors are uncommon benign neoplasms, which rarely occur in the trachea, usually originating from the posterior wall of the distal portion. Most of tracheal glomus tumors are located in the lower two thirds of the trachea. In this article, we present a 50-year-old male patient with a glomus tumor located on the upper third of the posterior wall of the trachea. A transoral endoscopic laser excision was performed. No finding suggesting tumoral regrowth at 36 months following surgery was found, as assessed by laryngoscopy and imaging studies.
