The recommended biopsy procedures for screen-detected suspicious pulmonary nodules resulted in a low intervention rate for benign nodules. This rate is minimal when we followed a research protocol that relies on shape and growth.

Maffucci syndrome is a rare congenital non-hereditary disease characterised by subcutaneous haemangiomata and multiple enchondromata. We present a case of an intermediate grade myxoid chondrosarcoma of the tracheal cartilage in a 34-year-old man with a history of Maffucci syndrome. Chondrosarcoma of the trachea are extremely rare tumours. A review of the radiological literature reveals approximately 15 previously published cases. No case was found with a history of Maffucci syndrome.
