Respiration. 1991;58(3-4):207-10. doi: 10.1159/000195928.

Abstract

Tracheobronchomegaly (TBM) is the syndrome of enlarged trachea and main bronchi associated with recurrent and chronic respiratory tract infections. A 42-year-old man with TBM and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is described. The possible relationship between the two entities is discussed and the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, prognosis and treatment of TBM are reviewed.
