We describe 4 florid examples of tracheopathia osteoplastica (TPO) discovered incidentally at autopsy. The sparsity of previously reported cases of TPO from Australia possibly reflects a lack of awareness of this entity rather than its true incidence. The more recent literature concerning the etiopathogenesis, pathology and clinical complications of this uncommon condition is reviewed. In our view TPO is a distinct entity and does not represent a late stage of diffuse tracheal amyloidosis.
我们描述了4例在尸检时偶然发现的 florid 型骨化性气管病（TPO）。此前澳大利亚报道的TPO病例稀少，这可能反映出对该疾病认识不足，而非其真实发病率。本文回顾了关于这种罕见疾病的病因、病理及临床并发症的最新文献。我们认为TPO是一种独特的疾病，并不代表弥漫性气管淀粉样变的晚期阶段。 （注：“florid”此处暂保留英文，因无完全对应准确中文表述，若有更明确要求，可进一步调整。）
