Primary tracheal and endobronchial lesions are generally rare and can be be either malignant or benign. The majority (≈98%)of these lesions are benignmalignant.
Pathology
Malignant
- primary malignant endobronchial lesions
- bronchogenic adenocarcinoma
- squamous cell carcinoma: commonest malignant lesion in tracheal region
- small cell carcinoma
- bronchial carcinoid
- mucoepidermoid carcinoma: tracheal mucoepidernoid carcinoma
- adenoid cystic carcinoma
- endobronchial metastases
Benign
- pulmonary hamartoma: most common benign neoplasm in lung 3
- pulmonary leiomyoma/tracheal leiomyoma
- endobronchial lipoma
- squamous cell papilloma: most common benign neoplasm in the trachea 3, occurs as part of laryngotracheal papillomatosis
- pulmonary pleomorphic adenoma
