A patient with a history of recurrent respiratory infections and hemoptysis due to tracheopathia osteochondroplastica is presented. Two aspects are highlighted. On the one hand, the fact that this entity is still, frequently, an unexpected finding at fiberoptic bronchoscopy. On the other hand, the possibility of massive hemoptysis complicating the carrying out of fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination in this process.
