Tracheopathia osteoplastica presenting with haemoptysis in a young male.
A young man presented with infrequent haemoptysis spanning over 10 years. Chest radiograph was normal. However, the computed tomography (CT) of the chest had shown endotracheal wall changes. The diagnosis of tracheopathia osteoplastica was suggested on fiberoptic bronchoscopy and confirmed histologically.
