  • Title: Tracheopathia osteoplastica: clinical, radiologic, and pathological correlations.
    Author: Young RH, Sandstrom RE, Mark GJ.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1980 Apr; 79(4):537-41. PubMed ID: 6767143.
    Abstract:
    The clinical, radiologic, and pathological features of tracheopathia osteoplastica are reviewed and three new cases are reported. Tracheopathia osteoplastica is usually not diagnosed until autopsy. However, it may be a surprise finding to the endoscopist and occasionally it may produce signs and symptoms of upper airway obstruction and enter into the differential diagnosis of a tumor of the trachea. The chest radiograph may permit the correct clinical diagnosis to be made. The pathological diagnosis is easy with adequate tissue. Because tracheopathia is a lesion predominantly of old age with little associated morbidity or mortality, the correct clinical diagnosis will prevent unnecessary operation.
