Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TBO) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterised by a formation of multiple, cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous submucosal nodules in the trachea and major bronchi. The course of the disease is usually benign but the narrowing of the respiratory tract can lead to chronic non-specific clinical symptoms. We present a case of a 50-year old man with chronic exertional dyspnoea and stenosis of the trachea visible in imaging tests, in whom the symptoms were caused by TBO.

A cough that persists for more than 8 weeks is defined as a chronic cough. In routine practice, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and postnasal drip are the most common causes of chronic cough. A 58-year-old non-smoking male patient with no known comorbidities presented with a 3-month history of non-productive cough.

Article Synopsis
- - Tracheobronchopathia osteoplastica (TO) is a rare benign airway condition involving abnormal bone and cartilage growth in the trachea and bronchi, often diagnosed through biopsy.
- - A case study of a 63-year-old male with symptoms like coughing and hemoptysis highlighted the importance of identifying TO, though its exact cause remains unknown and may relate to chronic issues.
- - While TO typically has a slow progression and good prognosis, symptoms can worsen over time, making early diagnosis and management strategies, like inhaled glucocorticoids and interventional therapies, essential.

Article Synopsis
- A 67-year-old female patient was found to have lung nodules during a physical exam and was diagnosed with tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica along with pulmonary adenocarcinomas after further testing.
- Surgical treatment involved lobectomy and lymphadenectomy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, with pathological results confirming the small lesions as adenocarcinomas.
- The patient has been monitored for 36 months post-surgery without any recurrence, highlighting the rarity of this condition and the importance for clinicians to differentiate it from malignant tracheal invasion in patients with lung issues.

Tracheobronchomegaly (TBM) is a rare condition characterized by the dilatation of the trachea and bronchi due to severe atrophy of elastic fibers, accompanied by the thinning of the muscularis mucosae and the development of diverticula between cartilaginous rings. The etiology of this condition remains unclear. Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is another uncommon airway disease with an unknown etiology.
