Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is a rare, benign, slowly progressive disease of unknown aetiology. It is characterized by numerous sessile, cartilaginous, or osseous submucosal nodules distributed throughout the anterolateral walls of the trachea and projecting into the laryngotracheobronchial lumen. The diagnosis is usually incidental with distinct bronchoscopic or computed tomography (CT) scan findings. We have identified a case of asymptomatic TO through fibreoptic bronchoscopy and biopsy after having a difficult intubation for elective prostate surgery.
骨软骨瘤样气管支气管病（TO）是一种病因不明的罕见、良性、进展缓慢的疾病。其特征是在气管前外侧壁上分布着许多无柄的、软骨性或骨性的黏膜下结节，并突入喉气管支气管腔内。诊断通常是在支气管镜检查或计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描有明显发现时偶然做出的。我们通过纤维支气管镜检查和活检确诊了一例无症状的TO，该病例是在择期前列腺手术插管困难后发现的。
