“…From the range of focal lesions affecting the trachea, mainly tracheal neoplasms, post-intubation and posttransplantation stenosis should be ruled out. Neoplasms include benign and malignant tumors [1,8]. Papillomatosis is a rare but particularly worrysome condition.…”

“…The symptoms depend on which part of the tracheobronchial tree is affected. Accordingly, tracheobronchial disease is distinguished into three types: proximal (affecting the subglottic space and trachea), mid-(affecting the primary bronchi) and distal (affecting the outer airways) [1,2]. More specifically, when the proximal/upper trachea is affected, the presenting symptoms relate to upper airway obstruction.…”

Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is a manifestation of amyloidosis of the respiratory tract characterized by focal or diffuse deposition of amyloid in the submucosa of the trachea and proximal bronchi. Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is not associated with systemic amyloidosis or pulmonary parenchymal involvement. It affects predominantly men aged over fifty. Depending on the part of the tracheobronchial tree that is affected, stenosis of the airways causes a variety of unspecific symptoms. Diagnosis is reached by means of typical presentation in CT scan followed by bronchoscopy and histopathological confirmation. Tracheobronchial amyloidosis should be borne in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients with chronic cough and/or dyspnea or recurrent respiratory infections.

“…As illustrated in this case, the chest radiograph can be normal. The differential diagnoses of diffuse tracheobronchial diseases include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, tracheobronchial papillomatosis, infectious involvement, relapsing polychondritis and tracheopathia osteochondroplastica ( table 1 ) [ 8 , 9 ].…”
