Pathology
fiogf49gjkf0d PATHOLOGIC FINDINGS:
We received 4 tissue samples that measured 1-2 rnm.
Histologically we could see a respiratory mucosal epithelium without atypia beneath which a tracheal cartilage with ossification is seen.
Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica should be considered in the differential diagnosis as an unusual cause of chronic persistent cough, haemoptysis, persistent atelectasis, and recurrent segmental or lobar infection.
