TRACHEOBRONCHOPATHIA OSTEOCHONDROPLASTICA- A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Tracheobronchopathica osteochondroplastica ia a rare disorder of the trachea and large airways. It is associated with the development of multiple osseous and cartilaginous nodules in the sub-mucosa of the airways.Patients commonly present with cough, hemoptysis and recurrent respiratory tract infections. The diagnosis is usually made with the help of CT scan and bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopic biopsy reveals the presence of cartilage and bone tissue.This condition usually remains stable for many years or progresses very slowly.There is no specific treatment described for this condition. Only a minority of patients develop significant upper airway obstruction and require invasive treatment.We report a case of Tracheobronchopathia Osteochondroplastica in a 53 year old man from South India.
