Primary Carcinoma of Trachea Metastatic to Heart

Bernard Peison M.D.1 and Manley C. Williams M.D.2

A patient with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the trachea, with widespread metastases to the heart is reported. The tumor arose from metaplastic respiratory epithelium rather than from islands of squamous inclusions. This uncommon neoplasm is no longer a pathologic curiosity, but one of the conditions of the upper respiratory tract that the practicing physician may be called upon to recognize and treat. Wide tracheal resection and reconstruction is generally suggested as the preferred method of treatment.
