Rheumatology Department, University Hospital Galway, Newcastle Road, Galway City, Galway H91 YR71, Ireland.
We report a coexistence of Mounir-Kuhn syndrome and aspergilloma in a 69-year-old male presented with hemoptysis, cough, shortness of breath and fever. This patient has a history of recurrent hospital admissions for infective exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Diagnostic imaging revealed the presence of aspergilloma and marked dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi, leading to a diagnosis of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome.

Tracheobronchomegaly, or Mounier-Kuhn syndrome, is a clinical and radiological entity characterized by marked dilatation of the trachea and bronchi as a result of severe atrophy of the elastic fibers, with thinning of the muscularis, and the formation of diverticula between the cartilaginous rings. The etiopathogenesis is uncertain and may be congenital or acquired. The clinical signs are not specific and are frequently revealed by recurrent respiratory infections and chronic cough.

Unlabelled: We report bronchoscopic changes observed in children with recurrent lower airways infections (RLAI) and findings in control children undergoing bronchoscopy for causes other than RLAI.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective case-control cohorts study. The clinical records of children who had fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) for a history of RLAI without any known underlying disorder between 2007 and 2013 and of control children who required FB for other causes were reviewed.

Mounier-Kuhn syndrome or congenital tracheobronchomegaly is a chronic airway condition which for currently unknown reasons mostly affects males. It is commonly overlooked on conventional chest X-rays, and is considered to be rare, but the prevalence might be higher as commonly assumed. The hallmark of it is a dilatation of the main airways which frequently, but not always, causes marked, mainly respiratory, symptoms, and patients usually present with varying degrees of recurrent infections, breathlessness, haemoptysis, dyspnoea.
