Tracheopathia osteoplastica (TO) is characterized by variable numbers of irregular, bony and cartilaginous excrescences of the tracheal and main bronchus mucosa, covered by normal epithelium. The disease is usually asymptomatic. A 42-year old woman suffering from asthma like symptoms underwent bronchoscopic evaluation, as her thorax CT revealed calcification and irregular contours in the tracheal wall. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimens revealed TO. This rarely seen case which mimics asthma is presented with the review of the literature.

Keywords: tracheopathia osteoplastica, asthma

Trakeopatia osteoplastika (TO), trakea ve ana bron� mukozas�nda normal epitelle kapl�, de�i�ik say�da irreg�ler kemiksi ve k�k�rdak benzeri nod�ller ile karakterize, nadir g�r�len bir hastal�kt�r. Genellikle asemptomatik seyreder. Ast�m benzeri yak�nmalar� olan 42 ya��ndaki kad�n hasta, toraks bilgisayarl� tomografide (BT) izlenen trakeal kalsifikasyon ve kontur d�zensizli�i nedeniyle bronkoskopik incelemeye al�nd�. Hava yollar�nda izlenen lezyonlardan al�nan biyopsi �rneklerinin histopatolojik incelemesi ile TO tan�s� alan olgumuz, nadir g�r�lmesi ve ast�m� taklit etmesi nedeniyle, literat�r incelenerek sunulmaktad�r.
