Primary tracheal cancer is considered to be relatively rare. Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) is a low-grade malignancy which is the second most common tracheal malignancy after squamous cell carcinoma. It has been proved that the majority of primary tracheal tumors, which were locally advanced and unresectable at the time of diagnosis, were squamous cell carcinoma. We are presenting a case of ACC that encase whole trachea to the main right bronchus at the presentation found in a woman just after she gave birth. Tumor was treated with conformal radiation therapy and showed good regression. Three years after the diagnosis, the patient is alive with stable disease.
