Objective: to highlight the clinical manifestation, histologic characteristics, diagnostic and therapeutic method of tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH).
Methods: the clinical, auxiliary examinational and pathological data of two patients with tracheal LCH were presented, and relevant literatures were reviewed.
Results: LCH is a polypoid form of capillary hemangioma which usually occurs on skin or muscosal surface of oral and nasal, rarely be seen in trachea. The most common presenting symptom of tracheal LCH is recurrent haemoptysis, CT scan can help to make diagnosis. Transbronchoscopic interventional therapy is the most effective treatment for tracheal LCH. Histologic examination can help to make the extreme diagnosis.
Conclusions: tracheal LCH is a scarce benign lesion of tracheal. There isn't any typical clinical manifestation and auxiliary examination. Histologic examination can make a definite diagnosis, and bronchoscopes plays the most effective part in diagnosis and therapy.
