Tracheal surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. In a patient with tracheal stenosis, depending on the degree of stenosis, intubation with an endotracheal tube can be difficult. Therefore, narrow intubation tubes may be used, or intubation may be provided with rigid bronchoscopic dilatation before intubation. Tracheal surgery with a laryngeal mask and without endotracheal intubation in a patient with tracheal stenosis who was intubated in the intensive care unit due to acute coronary syndrome is described in this report.

Tracheobronchial rupture is rare and a life threatening injury. Clinical presentations vary as to whether peribronchial tissues remain intact or not. A 30-yearold farmer was evaluated with dyspnea and neck swelling after a work accident due to a neck tie. The patient who was diagnosed with tracheal rupture underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction. He was discharged seven days after the operation. At the 12-month follow-up, the bronchoscopy showed good patency over the anastomotic region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are a rare tumor that frequently occurs in the pleural space, but intrapulmonary SFT is very seldom. A 75-year-old female was admitted to our clinic with dyspnea. The chest tomography showed an intrapulmonary lesion in the left lower lobe of the lung. A left lower lobectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was obtained by specific markers including CD34, vimentin, and BCL2. The present study presents a rare case of an entirety intrapulmonary localized fibrous tumor of the lung. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
