Workup
Our article will briefly describe tracheal and bronchial stenoses and other obstructive conditions, presenting an overview of their diagnostic workup. [jtd.amegroups.com]
The gold standard for diagnosis is flexible bronchoscopy; however, because patients present with nonspecific symptoms ranging from cough to complete airway obstruction, imaging is often obtained as part of the initial workup. 18 The CT appearance of papillomatosis [appliedradiology.com]

Treatments There are several options for treating tracheal tumors. Some treatments are for cure and some are aimed at reducing symptoms. [cedars-sinai.edu]

Surgical resection is the mode of treatment with the best hope for cure. Radiotherapy can be offered if the patient cannot tolerate surgical treatment. Chemotherapy can also be given after initial treatment with surgery, radiotherapy, or both. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Although PTL may grow suddenly and be life-threatening due to airway obstruction, early detection and diagnosis of it followed by appropriate treatment can lead to favorable prognosis [ 6 ]. [e-ultrasonography.org]
Prognosis Median survival for all patients after diagnosis of malignant tracheal tumors is 6 months, but survival time varies widely, depending on the histologic type of the tumor. [emedicine.medscape.com]
In general, respiratory involvement portends a worse prognosis because the cause of death is related to respiratory failure in almost half of all reported cases ( 1 ). [ajnr.org]
Etiology
The etiology of this syndrome remains obscure. To our knowledge this is the third such case to be reported in the medical literature. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
The most common etiology is COPD. [appliedradiology.com]
Apart from squamous papillomas, which have been associated with viral infection, no consistent etiology has been found. Smoking is a known risk factor. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Conclusion In conclusion, this is the first report on an eggshell calcification in intrathyroidal hemorrhage with unknown etiology. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]
Clinicoradiological correlation can identify the etiology of tracheobronchial calcification in most cases. Tracheobronchopathia Osteochondroplastica (TPO) is one of the rare causes of tracheobronchial calcification. [omicsonline.org]
Epidemiology
Background Tracheal neoplasms occur infrequently, accounting for fewer than 1% of all malignancies. [1, 2] According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) 1973-2004 database, primary carcinomas of the [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The tracheal mucosa is columnar and ciliated. It is closely apposed to the tracheal cartilages and to the interannular tissues between them. Mucous glands are liberally present. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Long-term warfarin therapy may be associated with tracheal calcification, possibly because warfarin prevents the formation of vitamin K-dependent proteins which are responsible for preventing calcification 1,2. [radiopaedia.org]
