Published: Feb. 1, 2024

This case report highlights the rarity of distal tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma and emphasizes importance considering it as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with sustained dyspnea. Early multidisciplinary approach involving thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists are crucial for optimal treatment planning patient outcomes. Further research is warranted to better understand pathogenesis, molecular characteristics, management strategies this rare malignancy.

Abstract Background Primary tracheal cancers (PTCs) are rare neoplasms underreported in the literature. No consensus guidelines exist for treatment of these and multimodal management has not been adequately explored cases diagnosed over past 2 decades. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database was queried to identify patients with PTC. Cox proportional hazards log-rank testing used assess association between demographic variables 5-year cause-specific survival (CSS). Among 689 identified patients, age < 65 years at diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] 0.64, p 0.001), non-squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) histology (HR 0.22, surgery 0.43, 0.001) were all associated increased CSS. Regarding disease histology, adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs) had CSS compared those neither SCC nor ACC (83.4% [76.0%, 90.8%] versus 50.3% [42.5%, 58.1%] 28.8% [23.2%, 34.4%]; based on univariate analysis. Despite improved surgery, 55% cohort did undergo only 5.5% having 58% ( 0.001). Conclusions Age years, among PTC, although significant proportion this group receiving represents an opportunity outcomes.
