Capillary hemangiomas are benign tumors that are commonly found in mucous membranes and cutaneous surfaces. Rarely, these tumors can be located in the trachea and central airway. We present a case report of intrathoracic tracheal resection and anastomosis for recurrent hemoptysis due to capillary hemangioma. A 47-year-old male patient was referred to our center for recurrent hemoptysis secondary to a distal endophytic tracheal tumor with a distance of 3.5 cm to the carina. We used a posterolateral approach to perform the tracheal resection based on the tumor anatomical position. The histopathological report revealed lobular capillary hemangioma.

Keywords : Distal trachea; lobular capillary hemangioma; tracheal tumor.
