Description

Tracheal neoplasms are abnormal growths or tumors that occur in the trachea, which is the airway that connects the throat to the lungs. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant and may cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, or wheezing.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'neoplasias de la tráquea' is the formal term used in clinical settings. Common variants may include colloquial terms like 'tumores en la tráquea', which should be avoided in professional contexts to maintain clarity and precision.
