Tracheobronchomegaly is characterized by tracheal and main bronchial dilatation usually associated with pulmonary parenchymatous disease. It is a rare condition and less than a hundred cases have been reported so far. Two cases of tracheobronchomegaly are here reported, one of them in an asymptomatic patients who came to medical attention because of pneumothorax (a previously non reported association); the other case was in a female patient with advanced age and history of recurrent pneumonic episodes and with marked parenchymatous involvement. In both cases the diagnostic confirmation was made by CT.
气管支气管巨大症的特征是气管和主支气管扩张，通常与肺实质疾病相关。这是一种罕见的病症，迄今为止报道的病例不到100例。本文报告了两例气管支气管巨大症，其中一例为无症状患者，因气胸前来就医（这是一种此前未报道过的关联情况）；另一例是一位老年女性患者，有反复肺炎发作史且肺实质受累明显。两例均通过CT确诊。
