Preoperative imaging with 4-dimensional computed tomography scan suggested multigland disease; however, she had persistent hyperparathyroidism after parathyroid exploration.

We present the case of a 64-year-old patient with a history of papillomas in the trachea and bronchi, treated with endobronchial cryotherapy.
