Recurrent tracheal tumor with a critical airway requiring 'Y' stent - unique presentation of tuberculosis

We report an extremely rare case of isolated paratracheal lymphadenitis due to tuberculosis, eroding the trachea and presented a lower tracheal tumor, which recurred again after complete debulking. Finally, the disease required a 'Y' stent placement, to stabilize the airway following the second recanalization. We discuss the incidence, differential diagnosis, and the bronchoscopic, interventional aspects of this entity.PMID:33794588 | DOI:10.4081/monaldi.2021.1578
