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.

연골종은 주로 골격계에 발생하며 그 외의 부위에서의 발생은 흔하지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 국내에서 기관의 연골종은 아직까지 보고된 바가 없다. 따라서 저자들은 폐암진단 중 발견된 흔치 않은 기관의 연골종 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
