[A case of schwannoma in cervical trachea].

Primary tracheal schwannoma is rare. It is easy to be misdiagnosed as bronchitis, asthma due to the lack of special symptom. Diagnosis of schwannoma depends on a comprehensive examination. Surgery is the only effective mean. Here we reported a 17-year-old male, who suffered from cough for 10 months. A variety of tests confirmed that he had schwannoma. There is no significant change after tumor resection via rigid bronchoscope since two years ago.
