Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica is a rare condition causing airway nodules. In this case, symptoms were due to other conditions, not the nodules themselves.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Rare airway diseases

Background:

  • Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is a rare, benign condition characterized by the formation of osteocartilaginous nodules in the trachea and bronchi.
  • It can lead to airway obstruction, though often remains asymptomatic.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old woman presented with progressive dyspnea and hoarseness.
  • Bronchoscopy revealed characteristic "rock-garden" appearance of nodules in the trachea and major bronchi.
  • Histological confirmation excluded amyloidosis.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) visualized the tracheobronchial nodules, while plain chest X-rays did not.
  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to coexisting pulmonary emphysema and acute laryngitis.
  • Symptomatic improvement was achieved with laryngitis treatment.

Implications:

  • This case highlights that symptoms in patients with tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica may stem from concurrent conditions.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires a combination of imaging and clinical correlation.
  • Effective management depends on identifying and treating the primary cause of symptoms.
