In contrast to the relative frequency of granular cell tumors (GCT) in the larynx and bronchi, the occurrence of these tumors in the trachea is rare. A 50-year review of the English-language literature disclosed only 24 described cases of tracheal GCT. This report reviews the clinicopathologic data from those 24 cases, along with the data from 2 cases obtained via a personal communication and the data from 4 previously unpublished cases obtained from a 30-year review of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology archives. Tracheal resection was the predominant mode of therapy and often was performed as a salvage procedure for failed endoscopic excisions. Recommendations for a more uniform approach to surgical management are provided.
