Abstract
A 46-year-old female presented with dyspnea, dysphagia, and throat irritation with a diagnosis of tracheal metastasis resulting from a previously resected lung adenocarcinoma. Upper airway metastasis has a poor prognosis and is rarely observed. The clinical presentation manifests with cough and hemoptysis in most cases. Treatment includes surgical metastatic removal associated with combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
