Abstract

Benign tumors in the tracheobronchial tree are rare. We report two cases of primary endotracheal neurogenic tumors in patients who presented insidiously. Both patients did not manifest other clinical features of neurofibromatosis (Von Recklinghausen’s disease). A single procedure using rigid bronchoscopy and neodymium: yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser resection resulted in excellent resolution of airway patency with good follow-up results in both cases.
