Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinomas are extremely rare tumors, for which surgery is the mainstay of therapy however, the surgical approach may be contradictory depending on tumor size, the involvement of adjacent structures, or concurrent diseases. In these cases, definitive external beam radiation therapy can offer adequate tumor control and symptom relief. The present case report describes a patient with an irregular tumor that surrounds the circumference of the trachea, causing a decrease in the tracheal lumen, in whom it was decided to perform a volume reduction of the tumor with argon plasma, followed by placement of a Y-stent (tracheal, left bronchial and right bronchial), and subsequent definitive treatment with external radiotherapy with intensity-modulated technique at doses of 60 Gy in 2 Gy fractionation.
