Abstract

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica is a rare benign disease that is characterized by multiple submucosal osseous and cartilaginous nodules in the tracheal bronchus. The etiology is not clear. A thoracic computed tomography of a 75 year-old female patient with complaints of dyspnea and cough for a year revealed two different lesions on the trachea and the anterior mediastinum. A bronchoscopy revealed a solid mass in the distal part of the trachea, affecting 4–5 cartilaginous rings and restricting the tracheal lumen by approximately 70%. The mass was located approximately two cartilaginous rings distant to the carina. A tracheal sleeve resection and thymectomy were performed through a right thoracotomy. The histopathological results indicated tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica and a thymic cyst. The postoperative follow up was uneventful. We report this rare case since the co-existence of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica and the thymic cyst is a condition rarely seen in literature.

Özet

Trakeabronkopatia osteokondroplastika nadir görülen, trakea ve bronş lümenine doğru çıkıntı yapan çok sayıda osseöz ve kartilajönez nodüller ile karakterize benign bir hastalıktır. Etyolojisi belli değildir. Yetmiş beş yaşında kadın hastaya bir yıldır devam eden dispne ve öksürük şikâyeti nedeni ile çekilen toraks bilgisayarlı tomografide trakea ve anterior mediastende kitle saptandı. Bronkoskopide trakeada yaklaşık 4-5 kıkırdak halka kadar ilerleyen, lümeni %70’ ye yakın daraltan kitle lezyonu görüldü. Distalinde karinaya yaklaşık 2 kıkırdak halka mesafe yerleşimliydi. Hastaya sağ torakotomi ile trakeal sleeve rezeksiyon ile uç uca anastomoz ve timektomi operasyonu uygulandı. Histopatolojik incelemelerin sonucu trakeabronkopatia osteokondroplastika ve timik kist ile uyumlu olarak değerlendirildi. Postoperatif dönemde kompikasyon gelişmedi. Olgu trakeabronkopatia osteokondroplastika ve timik kist birlikteliği çok nadir görüldüğü için sunulmuştur.
