RESUMEN

Primary tracheal sarcomas are rare. Only 23 cases have previously been reported in the English literature. The present case describes a 72-year-old woman with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea. She underwent an endoscopic resection followed by radiotherapy and is well at 12 months follow up. Other cases are reviewed. Tracheal resection is the standard care. However, local resection with postoperative radiotherapy remains an option. Adjuvant chemotherapy may improve local control. Long-term survival has been documented.
