Abstract

Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is an uncommon benign disease of an unknown etiology and it affects the cartilaginous walls of large airways. Most cases of TO have been reported to involve the lower two-thirds of the trachea and the proximal bronchi. Unlike the usual cases of TO, exclusive bronchial involvement and the formation of a solitary mass are very rare. We experienced an unusual case that had exclusive bronchial involvement and the formation of a solitary mass and this all mimicked lung malignancy. After surgical resection, we were finally able to diagnose the mass as bronchopathia osteochondroplastica.

기관골연골증이나 기관지골연골증은 큰 기도의 연골에 생기는 잘 알려지지 않는 병리를 가진 매우 드문 양성질환으로 보고되고 있다. 대부분 하부기관이나 근위부 기관지에서 발생하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 대부분의 기관골연골증과는 달리, 기관지를 벗어나서 종괴를 형성하는 기관골연골증은 매우 드물다. 그러나 저자들은 기존의 보고와는 다르게 엽기관지에 종괴를 형성하여 육안적으로 폐암과 유사한 형태를 지닌 기관골연골증을 치험하였으며, 수술적 절제 후 기관지골연골증임을 진단할 수 있었다.
