Tracheal Capillary Hemangioma Successfully Treated With Combined Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy and Argon-Plasma Coagulation.

We report a 43-year-old female who presented with recurrent non-massive hemoptysis for four months. Chest radiograph was normal. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 0.8-centimeter intraluminal polypoid mass abutting the middle part of trachea. A fiber-optic bronchoscopy demonstrated a lobulated reddish mass at dorsolateral aspect of the right side of tracheal wall. Cryotherapy to remove the mass and argon plasma coagulation to stop bleeding at the stump was performed. The histological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of a tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma. There was no recurrence hemoptysis nor the recurrence of tumor during a one-year follow-up.
