Abstract:
Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica is a rarely reported disease, and the clinical course is usually benign. But it may cause significant tracheal stenosis. Although it is usually found by autopsy, with the development of bronchoscopic examination and computed tomography, antemortem diagnosis is increasing. We experienced a case of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica which caused severe dyspnea, we did laryngoscopic examination, biosy and treated with tracheostomy.
