Presentation
The clinical presentation of KS varies from indolent skin lesions to extensive visceral disease. [journals.lww.com]
Case presentation A 75 year-old Caucasian male presented with progressively worsening dyspnea of eight days, wheezing and productive cough with clear sputum. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
Case presentation We report a case of tracheal SS, which presented with stridor with a history of chronic cough and was diagnosed with a battery of clinical investigations and managed successfully with tracheal resection surgery. [jenci.springeropen.com]
The clinical and histological picture of a case of Kaposi's sarcoma of the trachea in a young, pregnant woman, presenting with severe airway obstruction, is described here. [cambridge.org]
We also present a comparative analysis of our case with a prior tracheal sarcomatoid carcinoma case. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
He was hospitalized and placed on empirical treatments for community-acquired pneumonia and Pneumocystis jirovecci infection and on oral antifungals for candidiasis. [journals.lww.com]
Due to the central location and tendency to protrude into the lumen of the large airways, patients typically present with symptoms of dry cough, hemoptysis, progressive dyspnea, hoarseness, and fevers secondary to recurrent pneumonia, often leading to [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
- Productive Cough
cough, occasional blood-tinged sputum production, shortness of breath, hoarseness, weight loss, and fatigue. [journals.lww.com]

Neurologic
- Irritability
Case presentation A 61-year-old female patient was admitted to a local hospital in August 2018 because of irritating cough and progressively increasing breathlessness over a duration of 4 weeks. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
Workup
Thus, the initial workup and isolated nature of disease deemed the patient a good surgical candidate [10–13]. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment
Among patients with tracheal tumors, survival in those undergoing complete resections is significantly longer than those undergoing alternative modalities of treatment, although the rarity of these tumors and complexity in selecting treatment options [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
He was hospitalized and placed on empirical treatments for community-acquired pneumonia and Pneumocystis jirovecci infection and on oral antifungals for candidiasis. [journals.lww.com]
Margin-free resection is the gold standard treatment. [jenci.springeropen.com]
The patient had a very important clinical improvement from the beginning of the treatment, better quality of life, performance status, and daily life activities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
We thought it necessary to collect and analyze clinicopathological information of sarcomatoid carcinoma cases in the head and neck in order to establish appropriate disease classification and, thus, accurately predict patient prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis of patients diagnosed with tracheal cancer is dismal, with 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates of 5–15% and 6–7%, respectively [3]. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
The most common neuroendocrine carcinoma is carcinoid tumor and it has low malignant potential and has a comparatively good prognosis. [jenci.springeropen.com]

Conclusions Due to its low incidence, knowledge of treatment methods, prognostic factors, and etiology is limited thus approaches to eradication have widely varied. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

Prevention
The incision was closed in layers and a Grillo stitch was placed in the patient’s chin to prevent hyperextension in the postoperative period. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
