Lee, Ku, Lee, Lee, Kim, Oh, Kim, Lee, and Kim: Tracheopathia Osteoplastica Associated with Anthracofibrosis: Case Report

Abstract

Tracheopathia osteoplastica is a rare benign disorder of the trachea and major bronchi. It is characterized by multiple cartilaginous or osseous submucosal nodules that project into the tracheobronchial lumen. Awareness of the condition is important to avoid unnecessary surgery. We report here on the CT and bronchoscopic findings of tracheopathia osteoplastica associated with anthracofibrosis in a 67-year old woman, and we will then discuss our findings.
