Tracheal Diverticulum: A Unique Case with Intraoperative Morphologic Assessment
There are rare case reports of tracheal diverticula or paratracheal air cysts. These cases, however, were reported mostly as incidental sonographic or radiologic findings without histologic confirmation. Furthermore, the handful of studies that describe this entity histopathologically report only cases in patients with prior respiratory symptoms. Here, we report a rare case of an asymptomatic 6...

INTRODUCTION An air filled lesion can be a diagnostic dilemma and a careful investigation must be following to clarity any underlining pathology.

These lesions are usually an incidental finding at routine chest computed tomography (CT) scan, and their frequency is probably underestimated, because almost all patients are asymptomatic.1 Differential diagnosis of paratracheal air cysts includes tracheal diverticulum, pharyngocele, laryngocele, Zenker diverticulum, apical...
