PRIMARY TRACHEAL FIBROSARCOMA IN A CHILD - A CASE OF TRACHEAL RESECTION UNDER ECMO SUPPORT

We report a case of severe airway obstruction due to endotracheal fibr osarcoma in a 3-year-old boy. Successful tracheal resection and recons truction was performed under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation suppo rt. A solid, elastic hard tumor with a smooth surface was attached by a tiny stalk structure to the membranous part of the lower trachea. Hi stological findings of the tumor were consistent with infantile fibros arcoma, showing proliferation of spindle cells forming interlacing pat terns.
