A Case Of Tracheal Tumor Masquerading As Asthma
Abstract
There are a variety of disease processes that either masquerade as asthma or contribute to worsening asthma symptoms in patients with asthma. Obstruction in the large airways of the chest commonly presents with expiratory wheezing and dyspnea, which is mistaken for asthma. Identifying the nature and location of the obstruction is essential because it may be a life-threatening process. We report a case of lower tracheal mass which was being treated as asthma with abnormal flow volume loop which was evaluated and turned out to be carcinoid tumor in the lower part of trachea.
