“…The prevalence of TO has been reported to be 0.01% to 4.2% in patients undergoing bronchoscopy (Table 1) [2][3][4][5][6]. TO is found at similar rates in men and women, and generally diagnosed at ≥50 years of age [7]; however, young adults and children may also be affected [8]. Although the cause of the condition is unknown, several theories have been proposed.…”

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica discovered during tracheal intubation for general anesthesia

Tracheobonchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is a rare disorder, where there is benign dysplasia of the trachea and occasionally large bronchi. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who was discovered to have TO at the time of a difficult intubation. This case was also unusual because the patient had presented no previous symptoms despite the presence of extensive endotracheal lesions. The final diagnosis of TO was made after subsequent bronchoscopy in the post-operative period.

“…In 2001, Leske et al reported that in 40 biopsies they found the following changes: ossification (58%), squamous metaplasia of the respiratory epithelium (48%), cartilage (38%), calcification (20%) and amyloidosis 13% 6,8,14 . There are no markers for OT.…”

“…On chest and trachea CT scans we can see the most common image changes: a few or numerous gross nodular lesions, of bony and/or cartilaginous (01-10mm) consistency, sessile and covered by an apparently normal mucosa of the trachea wall. Definitive diagnosis is confirmed through biopsy during fibro-naso-laryngotracheobronchoscopy 14 . In our cases we ordered chest CT scans, which showed lesions similar to the ones found in the literature.…”

Ost eochondroplastic tracheobronchopathy (OT) is a rare benign disorder of the lower part of the trachea and the upper part of the main bronchus characterized by numerous submucosal calcified nodules, sessile, cartilaginous and/or osseous with laryngotracheobronchial lumen projection. There are less than 400 cases reported in the word literature.Aim: to report and discuss 02 cases of OT with a bibliography review. Materials and Methods:we report on 02 cases with bibliography revision from MEDLINE, LILACS and PUBMED data.Study design: observational, descriptive, case reports.Conclusion: the symptoms result from airway obstruction, causing dry cough, dyspnea and recurrent respiratory tract infections. The diagnostic hypothesis is established by endoscopy of the upper airway (laryngo-tracheo-bronchoscopy), and the trachea/chest computed tomography is the best image exam to define tracheal nodule alterations. The differential diagnoses are papillomatosis, amyloidosis and sarcoidosis chondrosarcoma hamartoma and calcified paratracheal lymph nodes. There is no specific treatment and the prognosis is good. Surgery is restricted to moderate or severe airway obstructions. Otorhinolaryngologists must include OT in the differential diagnosis of cases of upper airway and tracheobronchial tree suggestive symptoms. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2010;76(6):789-93.

“…When we searched the national and international literature, we found 22 cases reported from Turkey (Table 1). [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Among the 2852 bronchoscopies in last 14 years, this was the first case of TO in our clinic.…”
