J Cardiothorac Surg 2023; 18:144. [PMID: 37069678 PMCID: PMC10111649 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-023-02275-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The diagnosis and management of tracheobronchial papilloma is challenging due to its rarity, and non-specific presenting symptoms. Small percentage undergoes malignant transformation. Herein, we report an unusual case of tracheal papilloma initially misdiagnosed as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 36-year-old male with triple Y syndrome. It was successfully treated with local debridement and brachytherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of brachytherapy for such a condition.
