ABSTRACT
Introduction: Congenital anomalies of the trachea are a heterogeneous group of
alterations that occur during the development and growth of the respiratory
system and they are related to the embryonic period. At this stage of
development, malformations, which are incompatible with life, may occur.
Objective: To report a case of tracheal diverticulum.
Case report: The case of an oncological patient diagnosed with a tracheal
diverticulum, also known as a tracheocele, is reported here. The diagnosis was
made incidentally. When the patient, in control studies for breast cancer,
received a postero-anterior chest X-ray and a nodular lesion was evidenced in the
apex of her right lung. She underwent a bronchoscopy and a tracheal diverticulum
was diagnosed.
Conclusions: Tracheal diverticulum is a rare entity that can occur
asymptomatically. Its diagnosis can be made by computerized axial tomography or
bronchoscopy.
