Abstract	Adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC), or cylindromas, are malignant tumors of the trachea that represent 0.1% of respiratory tract cancers. This case involves a 79-year-old female patient admitted for chronic dry cough, intermittent dysphonia and dysphagia, along with unspecified weight loss. The chest CT scan revealed circumferential thickening of the trachea with endoluminal mass. Bronchoscopy showed a vascularized tumor nodule at the distal part of the trachea, and the biopsy confirmed a tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma. The PET scan showed a distal tracheal neoplastic process extending to the carina, with mild FDG avidity, and moderate subaortic and subcarinal mediastinal lymph node hypermetabolism. The patient received external radiation therapy. The outcome was marked by improvement in cough and dysphagia.
