Description

We reported a 92-year-old woman, with tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO). Bronchofiberscopy revealed many nodular elevated lesions on all sides of the trachea and the right main bronchus except for the membranous portion. Histological examination of all biopsy specimens demonstrated submucosal bony tissue consistent with TO. The bronchofiberscopic findings showed only slight progression compared with the findings of 11 years previously. These findings suggest that TO is a very slowly growing benign disease.
