Abstract

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is a rare benign disease of trachea characterized by numerous osseocartilaginous nodules protruding into the tracheobronchial lumen. The etiology of TO is unknown; however, an association with upper respiratory diseases such as atrophic rhinitis has been suggested. The authors report a case of TO with atrophic rhinitis with related literatures.
