Central Airway Obstruction Due to Tracheal Glomus Tumor

Central Airway Obstruction Due to Tracheal Glomus Tumor

Abstract Background Tracheal glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that have the potential to cause malignant, central airway obstruction. They require a thoughtful approach to safely secure the airway and definitively resect the tumor. Case Description We report the...
