Abstract
The diagnosis of a tracheal mass is commonly delayed, frequently under the impression of bronchial asthma, because the detection of the mass on chest radiography is difficult and clinical symptoms and signs mimic bronchial asthma [1]. Computed tomography (CT) scans are usually performed after the detection of the mass on bronchoscopy. CT scan is the mainstay of radiological examination in the detection, evaluation of the disease extent, and in characterization of tracheal tumors.
