| | | *This code includes any type of benign tracheal tumor |
| *Tracheal tumors may also be benign (not cancerous) but still cause a problem due to restricted airflow through the trachea, potential malignancy and growth too large to treat easily: | | *The most common type are chrondromas, which arise from tracheal cartilage tissue. |
| **Chondromas, the most common type of tracheal tumors, form from cartilage that makes up the trachea. This type of tumor may turn cancerous after a period of time. | | *Another type are hemangiomas, which arise from blood vessel tissue. When this type is believed to be the type, then you can combine this code with '''[[Hemangioma or lymphangioma, benign neoplasm, any site]]''' |
| *** page [[Bone or cartilage, benign neoplasm]] says to code chondromas as that. how about chondromas of trachea? Ttenbergen 22:00, 2018 July 17 (CDT)
| | *Another type are papillomas, which are caused by HPV, and when this is believed to be the type, you can combine this code with '''[[Papillomavirus]]' |
| {{Discuss | who = Allan | question = q Chondromas... }}
| |
| **Hemangiomas, tumors in tiny blood vessels, may affect both children and adults. If a child with a hemangioma birthmark suddenly experiences breathing problems, a hemangioma tumor should be investigated. | |
| {{Discuss | who = Allan | question = q Hemangiomas... now I wonder if this will be an issue with all "type of cancer" vs " location of cancer" distinctions... }}

| | |
| **Papillomas are tumors caused by the human [[Papillomavirus]] (HPV). Papillomatosis refers to multiple papilloma tumors.
| |
| {{Discuss | who = Allan | question = Papillomatosis - kind of concerned about leaving this here lest someone use this code for non-thach papillomatosis. If anything mention of this might need to move to [[Papillomavirus]]. }}
