Case Discussion
Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica is an uncommon benign disorder of the tracheobronchial tree, usually affecting the distal trachea and proximal primary bronchi.
On CT, the disease is manifested as irregular calcifications and/or small nodules projecting into the airway lumen. The posterior tracheal wall is characteristically spared.
