Scabbard is the sheath used for covering swords, knives or other large blades. A scabbard trachea is called so because of its resemblance of shape (Fig. 1) caused by lateral compression usually by thyroid enlargement. Here we present such a case depicting the radiological findings of a scabbard trachea.
剑鞘是用于覆盖剑、刀或其他大型刀片的鞘。剑鞘样气管之所以这样称呼，是因为其形状类似剑鞘（图1），通常是由于甲状腺肿大导致的侧向压迫所致。在此，我们展示这样一个病例，描述剑鞘样气管的影像学表现。
