Popis: 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.
