Abstract
- Tracheal chondromas are very rare benign cartilaginous tumors. We present the first case report, to our knowledge, of a tracheal chondroma in Korea. A 73-year-old male was referred to our hospital for a mass in the left lung. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed to evaluate the lung mass and incidentally found a tracheal mass as well. A biopsy and histological examination of the tracheal mass revealed a chondroma.
