気管Adenoid Cystic Carcinomaの1例

A CASE OF TRACHEAL ADENOID-CYSTIC CARCINOMA

I．はじめに

　気管および気管支に原発するAdenoid cystic carcinomaは，非常にまれな疾患であり，本邦においては，10数例の報告をみるにすぎない。最近われわれは，気管下部に原発し，症状発現より約1年間，原因不明のまま放置されていた症例を経験したので，報告する。

　An adenoid-cystic carcinoma located deeply in the lower portion of the trachea is found in a man, aged 35. From the nuture of the location of the growth its operative removal was altogether inconsiderable. The patient was treated by means of irradiation with Co⁶⁰. And at present, 1 year after this treatment there seems to be no sign of recurrence.
