Abstract:
We present one case of osteochondroplastic tracheobronchopathy in a patient with right laterocervical tumoration as a manifestation of a normofunctional nodular goiter detected in a thyroid morphofunctional study, and tracheal stenosis secondary both to the goiter and the tracheobronchial process. The coincidence of these two processes, probably fortuitous, has never been described before.
