FIBROMA of the trachea is of great rarity. Stangely enough, however, the first tracheal tumor of any type to be recorded was a fibroma and was observed as an incidental finding at an autopsy by Lieutad¹ in 1767. Since that time only 35 additional tumors of this type have been reported. The table presents a chronologic recapitulation of the cases and lists the authors reviewing them.

Offering further evidence of the extreme rareness of these tumors, Culp² completed the most recent exhaustive survey of primary tracheal tumors of all types in 1936 and listed at that time a total of 433. His figures, which were obtained from the contemporary literature and from a personal survey of the statistics of 47,600 autopsies, increased by only 3 the number of tracheal fibromas reported since the comprehensive report of D'Aunoy and Zoeller³ in 1931.
