Abstract
Background. Primary tumors of the trachea and major bronchi are rare and comprise from 1 to 2% of all tumors of the respiratory tract. In adults, the majority (60-90%) of these tumors are malignant, while in children, benign neoplasms are more common. About 1% of primary tracheal tumors are leiomyomas. This neoplasm can lead to obstruction of the upper respiratory tract and fatal asphyxiation. Description of the clinical case. A rare clinical case of tracheal leiomyoma in a 14-year-old adolescent admitted to the Department of Pulmonology of the Perm Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital with complaints of breathing difficulty is presented. Conclusion. The presented case demonstrates a rare cause of upper and lower respiratory tract obstruction - tracheal leiomyoma, which requires timely diagnosis and special treatment tactics.
