Abstract

Capillary hemangioma of the trachea is an extremely rare benign tumor in adults. We present the case of a 28-year- old woman with hemoptysis owing to a tumor of the proximal trachea. The tumor was removed by rigid bronchoscopy. The resulting specimens showed capillary hemangioma without any signs of malignant transformation. This presentation is the first case in Korea. Although tracheal capillary hemangioma is a rare disease, we should consider it as a possible cause of hemoptysis in the young adult.
