Primary tracheal tumors are very rare. We presented here a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the trachea who was treated with segmental tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Histologically, the tumor had the criteria of WHO international classification of salivary glands. The patient did well one year after the operation.
