Article Abstract

Many retrospective series have been reported on the outcomes of tracheal resection for adenoid cystic carcinoma. However, demonstration on techniques of surgery and ventilatory management during the procedure are rare. We, herewith demonstrate a surgical video, wherein a distal tracheal resection was performed through right posterolateral thoracotomy.

We conducted a narrative review concerning risk stratification and difficult airway management of patients presenting with a large mediastinal mass. This is supplemented by a case report illustrating our individual approach for a patient presenting with a subtotal tracheal stenosis due to a large cyst of the thyroid gland.

Article Synopsis
  • Desmoid tumours are rare benign growths that can aggressively invade surrounding tissues, especially near nerves and blood vessels, making them difficult to treat.
  • Their exact cause is unknown, but they are more common in females and may be linked to factors like trauma, surgery, or inflammation, suggesting possible genetic or hormonal influences.
  • A case study highlights a 34-year-old woman who developed a desmoid tumour in her neck after neck surgery; despite surgical removal, the tumour recurred, necessitating a second operation for complete treatment.
