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.
