A 25-year-old male presented with features of acute airways obstruction. He was diagnosed to have a lower tracheal mass with near total tracheal obstruction and complete obstruction of the left main bronchus. The tumour was resected successfully using a two-step method of ventilation. Histopathology of the mass revealed it to be a spindle cell sarcoma. Subsequently, local irradiation and systemic chemotherapy was given.
