Abstract:
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea is a rare tumor. The mainstay of treatment remains surgical resection, even in the presence of positive margins or metastatic disease. Perineural involvement commonly causes positive margins and should not deter from resection. Knowledge of releasing maneuvers is essential for surgical success. Long-term follow-up is required with patients presenting late and surviving with recurrent disease for years.
