Abstract
-
Tracheobronchomegaly or Mounier-Kuhn syndrome a is rare disease characterized by marked
dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi. It is thought to be due to a congenital anomaly,
but is uncertain. It has variable clinical manifestations from causing chronic respiratory
infections and bronchiectasis to being asymptomatic for the lifetime. Recently, we experienced
a case of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome patient with tracheal diverticulum, who had lung cancer.
Our case is reported with literature reviews.
