Tracheal resection, commonly used in adults, has not been applied to the infant age group because of concerns regarding subsequent tracheal growth. Upper tracheal narrowing in infants may often be satisfactorily treated, but patients with long segment distal tracheal stenosis do not respond to usual therapy and rarely survive. In this case, resection of the distal third of the trachea was accomplished successfully and the trachea appears capable of normal growth in the area of the anastamosis.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare, low-grade epithelial tumor predominantly found in the salivary glands, with tracheal involvement being particularly uncommon. The present study details a case of primary tracheal HCCC and its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges and the therapeutic approach used. A 34-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of intermittent dyspnea.

To explore the application of spiral tracheoplasty in the repair of large tracheal defects after the resection of trachea invaded by thyroid cancer. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 11 patients, including 4 males and 7 females, aged from 36 to 67 years old, with large tracheal defects after tracheal resection due to thyroid papillary carcinoma invading the trachea in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2019 to January 2022. The range of tracheal defects, time of tracheal reconstruction, postoperative complications and airway were recorded, and the patients were followed up for more than 24 months.

Background And Aims: Image Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) assess surgical risk in neuroblastoma (NB) and guide neoadjuvant therapy. Despite chemotherapy IDRFs may persist in 70 % of cases. Several studies have suggested that not all IDRFs hold equal significance and that the presence of an IDRF does not inherently signify unresectability.

Background: Primary pulmonary hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare type of primary salivary gland-type tumor of the lung. HCCC is characterized by unique pathological features, including nests, cords, or trabeculae of clear or eosinophilic tumor cells infiltrating a mucinous or hyalinized stroma. Additional analyses of this carcinoma have revealed positive epithelial markers via immunophenotyping and gene translocation through genetic testing.
